| Code | Study programme competences |
| B1 | Posuír e comprender coñecementos que acheguen unha base ou oportunidade de ser orixinais no desenvolvemento e/ou aplicación de ideas, a miúdo nun contexto de investigación |
| B2 | Que os estudantes saiban aplicar os coñecementos adquiridos e a súa capacidade de resolución de problemas en ámbitos novos ou pouco coñecidos dentro de contextos máis amplos (ou multidisciplinares) relacionados coa súa área de estudo |
| B4 | Que os estudantes saiban comunicar as súas conclusións e os coñecementos e razóns últimas que as sustentan a públicos especializados e non especializados dun modo claro e sen ambigüidades. |
| B5 | Que os estudantes posúan as habilidades de aprendizaxe que lles permitan continuar estudando dun modo que haberá de ser en boa medida autodirixido ou autónomo. |
| B6 | Ser capaz de realizar unha análise crítica, avaliación e síntese de ideas novas e complexas. |

| Methodologies |
| Methodologies | Description |
| Guest lecture / keynote speech | Oral presentation complemented with the use of audiovisual media and the introduction of some questions to the students, in order to transmit knowledge and provide learning |
| Problem solving | Technique of group work which purpose is the in-depth study of a subject. It involves discussion, participaction, edocuments elaboration and the conclussion reached by all the components of the seminar. |
| Supervised projects | Methodology designed to promote authonomous learning of the students, always under the teacher's guide. It is a technique based on the assumption by the students of the responsability of their learning. This learning technique is based in two basic elements: the authonomous learning and the continous monitoring of this learning by the teachers. |
| Objective test | Written test to asses the obtained competencies. It is an instruments of meassure, rigorously developed, that allows to evaluate knowledges, capacities, skills, performances, aptitudes, attitudes, etc. |

| Assessment | |||
| Methodologies | Competencies | Description | Qualification |
| Objective test | B1 B2 B4 B5 B6 | At the end of the course, these students that have not done the proposed works or that want to obtain a better qualification, will do a written exam in the data fixed by the school. | 50 |
| Supervised projects | B2 B4 B5 B6 | Students who wish to, can choose a topic from among those proposed by the teachers of the subject. They will do a work on this subject to deepen their concepts and techniques, and that they will have to expose later. This work will be qualified and will allow to pass the subject. | 50 |
| Assessment comments | |||
|
<p>The works will be corrected and attending to this corrections students will be qualified. If a student does not present the proposed work or if he/she wants to obtain a better qualifications, he/she will be able to give up the obtained qualification and do the final exam. </p>
