Methodologies Description
Supervised projects Methodology designed to promote students' autonomous learning, under the supervision of teachers and in a variety of scenarios (academic and professional). It is primarily concerned with learning "how to do things". It is an option based on students taking responsibility for their own learning.

This teaching system is based on two basic elements: independent learning by students and monitoring of this learning by teachers.

The tutored work consists of the elaboration of a complete applied social research project, taking into account all the phases, as well as the ethical issues for its elaboration.
For on-site students, the work will be carried out in a group, and must be presented in writing (through the system set up for this purpose in the virtual classroom) and orally.
For distance learning students, or students with recognition of part-time dedication and academic dispensation of exemption from attendance, the work will be done individually, and must also be submitted in writing (through the system provided for this purpose in the virtual classroom) and presented via telematic means.
Both on-site and distance learning students will have different instructions and rubrics for their preparation, which will be published in the Virtual Classroom of the subject.
Workshop Practical activities in which different tests are combined: readings, debates, analysis of secondary sources, problem solving, roll play, these are practices carried out with the support and supervision of the teacher of the subject, which will go through all the phases of the development of a research project, and therefore will serve as a guide for the correct completion of the Supervised project.
Oral presentation The research project (tutored work) must be presented orally, through the channels indicated by the lecturers. The grade obtained in the presentation will be individual.
Guest lecture / keynote speech The Guest lecture is also known as "lecture", "expository method" or "master class". The latter is usually reserved for a special type of lecture given by teachers on special occasions, with a content that is original and based on the almost exclusive use of the spoken word as a means of conveying information to the audience.
The session will be complemented by the use of audiovisual media and the combination with workshop activities, with the aim of transmitting knowledge and facilitating learning. Student participation will be motivated and valued, through questions and/or discussions.
