Methodologies
Methodologies
  Description
Introductory activities Activities aimed at making contact and collecting information from students. There will also be a presentation of the subject describing the learning objectives, contents, methodologies, evaluation systems and skills to be worked on. This session will be first in each subject and will last 30 min
Lecture Exhibition of the contents of the subject in the classroom or laboratory
Previous study Search, reading and documentation work prior to laboratory practices by the student
Laboratory practicals Apply, on a practical level, the theory of a domain of knowledge in a specific context. Practical exercises through the different laboratories
Presentations / oral communications Oral presentation by students of a specific topic or a work (previous written presentation)
Assignments Exercises performed by the student from material and references provided by the teacher or as a result of laboratory practices. This activity has a greater scope and extension than the resolution of problems
Personal attention This guidance is carried out by the teacher of each subject with the students enrolled in the same. The purpose of this guidance is to plan, guide, dynamise, monitor and evaluate the student's learning process, taking into account their profile interests, needs, previous knowledge, etc.) and the characteristics / requirements of the context ( EHEA, academic / professional profile, social-labor demand, etc.).

Personalized attention
Description
This guidance is carried out by the teacher of each subject with the students enrolled in it. The purpose of this guidance is to plan, guide, dynamize, follow and evaluate the student's learning process, taking into account their profile interests, needs, prior knowledge, etc.) and context characteristics / requirements (EHEA, profile academic / professional, socio-labor demand, etc.). The actions that will be carried out are the following: - Welcome to the subject - Weekly dynamization - News and events - Resolution of academic doubts - Retroaction with the correction of activities - Abandonment of the subject - End of the subject The development of these actions will be carried out with the support of the tools offered by the Virtual Campus Moodle, within the virtual classroom of each subject. So that the best orientation and follow-up can be offered considering the face-to-face or virtual modality of each subject.
