Teaching Methods
* Theoretical and laboratory classes mainly lectured with a blackboard, with e-learning tools and transparencies. Laboratory practices using the statistical software used.
* Introduction of the theoretical concepts using practical examples and trying to show the relevance of the contents in the main area of application.
Exercises directed to the area of the course in question.
* Encourage individual and group participation in the classroom with the discussion of examples and exercises aimed at the area of Human and Social Sciences, focusing on solving current and real problems.

Assessment
Continuous evaluation
? The continuous assessment regime consists of 2 tests.
? In each test, the student must have a grade greater than or equal to 8 points.
? The final grade will be the arithmetic average of the grades obtained in the two tests.
? To obtain approval for the subject, the final grade must be equal to or greater than 9.5 and you must have attended at least 75% of the classes.
Final Assessment
? The final grade in the Normal Exam assessment system must be equal to or greater than 9.5 and the student must have attended at least 75% of the classes to obtain approval for the curricular unit.
? The material for assessment will be all that taught during the semester.
Appeal Exam
? If the student has not passed, he or she may take an Appeal Exam
If the final classification obtained in the subject is higher than 16 points, the teacher may require an oral test.
