Guest lecture / keynote speech |
Lesson given by the teacher that may have different formats (theory, problems and/or general examples, general guidelines of the subject, etc.). The teacher might use audiovisual and computer means. In addition, s/he can introduce some questions posed to the students. The objective is to introduce the student into the concepts of the subject, in order to transmit the knowledge base that the student needs to start his/her work and his/her learning.
|
Workshop |
The main objective in these classes will be the realization of especially practical tasks, with the teacher's support and supervision: proposal and solution of applications from the theory, proposal and supervision of works, problems, exercises, presentations, expositions, debates and comments on works, solving doubts about the theory, etc. It is also possible that the teacher explains some concepts, especially for clarifying their application, or in any case as a mere comment about the keynote speech.
Evaluation activities will be carried out during these classes; those activities will be individual or group exercises.
|
Workbook |
Reading of tests related to the subject or texts that complement what has been explained in the classroom.
|
Mixed objective/subjective test |
A mixed test will be carried out, which will correspond to the final exam. As this test is considered essential for the evaluation, it is necessary to obtain at least a 40% of the total mark in order to compute (incorporate) the remaining evaluation activities.
As an alternative to this mixed test and with the aim of promoting the continued work by the student, the teacher will propose intermediate mixed tests along the teaching period. Passing all these intermediate tests is equivalent to pass the final test.
|
Collaborative learning |
Work in groups of students in order to solve the tasks assigned by the teacher to optimize their own learning and that of the rest of classmates. Before handling the work in groups, several classes will be dedicated to pose the doubts and/or difficulties found when doing the work. In this manner, a debate is created among the students, their classmates and the teacher, who encourages the interrelation in the work and the critical spirit.
Students should carry out group works so as to solve different theoretical-practical questions related to different lessons of the syllabus; at the end, the group should present its work, with different possibilities regarding its exposition (oral or written), computer assessment; the election of the method will depend on the evolution of the teaching. |
Seminar |
Each group will be divided into two sub-groups of students (half the students each one). There will be four hours per student dedicated to seminars. These sessions may be used to solve doubts and to discuss about the different parts of the subject, as well as the activities and works proposed to be done on those topics.
