• MetodologiaMethodology

  The teaching approach adopted is based on the active method, encouraging co-operative (peer) and creative learning. Face-to-face: 1. theoretical-practical teaching: Presentation of concepts and discussion of programme contents. 2. Laboratory practice: Completion of worksheets to analyse and interpret the results obtained; Critical analysis of case studies related to the subject area of the course. 3. Simulated practice: Scenarios and situations that allow students to explore real-world situations related to the subject area of the course, applying the fundamental maths concepts exposed and developing critical thinking. Autonomous: 4. Consolidation of the content taught in class by researching additional information on the different topics covered and developing additional work related to solving concrete problems and group dynamics.
