Methodology

The subject, despite having an important theoretical part so that the basic concepts are acquired correctly, has a practical focus.
In the sessions with the entire class group, the teacher explains the theoretical knowledge of each of the different topics in order to later solve the corresponding practical cases.
The student must dedicate a few hours of personal work to this subject each week in order to consolidate the knowledge acquired in the different topics. This involves following a weekly rhythm of solving exercises in line with what has been explained in class. With this personal work, the student must also review the theoretical aspects discussed in class using the corresponding summaries and diagrams. In the subject work plan, the student will find the weekly forecast of what will be done in the group class sessions.
