Teaching Methods
Theoretical classes are plenary and eminently expository. Theoretical-practical classes seek to apply theoretical knowledge and are based on the scientific method, valuing information research, interpretation of results and a critical attitude and scientific rigor in students.
Student-centered teaching model making the relationships between the curriculum and its applicability to real problems implicit. We highlight:
a) application and understanding exercises, case studies, debates and video viewing;
b) articulation between moments of speech and audiovisual resources that facilitate understanding, attention and involve the active participation of students;
c) use of interactive digital resources;
d) collaborative approach based on team-based learning, to analyze/discuss various themes;
e) articulation between teaching and research, publicizing R&D projects and providing student participation in them;
f) situated learning, through carrying out application work
