FACE-TO-FACE TEACHING IS DEVELOPED THROUGH:
Expository classes: the teacher develops in the classroom the content of the subject established in this Teaching Programme, supported by the notes provided on the virtual platform.
Seminars in small groups: they consist of practical sessions in small groups of 20 students, aimed at solving examples and exercises. The seminars complement the knowledge acquired in lectures and through the student's personal work.
Laboratory practices: they consist of practical sessions in small groups of 20 students, where the students will carry out, with the support of the teacher, a practical case that will serve as the basis for the course work to be presented by the students at the end of the course.
Tutoring: individual and in groups of a maximum of 10 students, where they will share and resolve doubts and all those aspects related to the subject.
Completion of a course work: the students will carry out, in groups of a maximum of five students, a course work consisting of the realization of a structure calculation report on the basic road layout project. The teacher will detail the content and scope of the work at the beginning of the course, so that the students can develop it based on what they have seen in the laboratory practices and tutorials.
