Expositive and demonstrative methodologies. Students will have access to the theoretical topics through the expository method, but in general, students will approach from a practical point of view the main research steps that lead to the writing of a research project, where they will be able to demonstrate the acquired competences. Continuous assessment involves a written test (50%) on the theoretical lectures, while the practical skills are evaluated through a group work consisting of the preparation of a research project up to 10 pages (25%) with oral presentation per poster (25%). The final exam focuses on the contents of the theoretical and practical classes (100%). Class attendance is mandatory. It is expected that the performance in the different moments of evaluation will guarantee the acquisition of the necessary skills for the approval in this curricular unit
