Other comments

It is recommended  that the students carry out the subject updated, so much regarding the expositive classes as to the interactive ones. The attendance to the classrooms, the realization of all the activities planned in these and the participation in academic and non-academic acts, organized by the teacher who teaches the subject as well as by the Faculty of Educational Sciences, without prejudice to attendance at events organized by other institutions. For contributing to a responsible environment, from this matter, it is intended to contribute, by not using more than the essential role, in the case of examinations and some important works, everything else will be done by telematic means, so it is going to ensure that the students acquire skills for healthy lifestyles, and healthy habits and routines. The subject will be taught at a gender angle, so that the student is sensitized with equality.
