Teaching method
Teaching is based on FCSH e¬learning platform where all materials and recommended reading are available. A Welcome presentation is available at the beginning of the semester with the CU objectives, the program, the general bibliography, the evaluation criteria, and the scheduling of activities and evaluation. For each LU exists an introductory presentation that contains its goals, contents, specific bibliography and a detailed description of the application exercises. There is a weekly Zoom session in which students can interact with teachers in real time. The session log is
available on the platform. Participation is optional, not counting for evaluation. Evaluation is done continuously, by conducting individual work and participation in discussion forums (elearning system) [(50%), 10% for units 1, 2 and 3 and 20% for unit 4] and a final exam (face to face) (50%)
