Teacher-guided master classes and theoretical-practical classes tutorials aimed at consolidating knowledge: research, critical evaluation, and analysis of scientific information, as well as the elaboration and presentation of individual and group work. 

The evaluation carried out in the 'Continuous Evaluation' modality results from the weighted average of the following elements: written evaluation (40%), participation in classes (10%), execution and presentation of individual work (30%), and execution of group work (20%). For the approval of the curricular unit it is necessary to obtain a classification of 9.5 values.

Evaluation by final written exam will include all the contents taught in theoretical and theoretical-practical classes. For approval in the course unit it is necessary to obtain a classification of 9.5 values ¿¿in this exam.

The improvement of the grade is carried out by means of an oral test encompassing all the contents.
