Teaching will consist of information periods with periods dedicated to problem solving. In support of teaching and study, the e-learning system will be used through the moodle platform.
Other pedagogical means (bibliography and electronic databases) will also be used.
There will be two alternative forms of assessment:
a) A final exam on the whole subject taught.
b) An individual written work (design of a research project).
Students will be encouraged to opt for written work.
The written work must have the structure of a scientific project.
The written work will be evaluated using the following criteria:
- Level of rigor in carrying out each step of the scientific procedure.
- Degree of coherence between the ¿formulated problem¿ and the ¿literature review¿.
- Adequacy of the analysis model.
- Level of clarity of the text.
