Taking into account that in the industry is important the development and presentation of reports, it will be valued:
• Clarity.
• Do not misspellings.
• Speed in the answer of the works that the student is asked to present.
Contingency plan
Scenario 1: Adapted normality (without restrictions on physical presence).
The development of this subject will be fundamentally face-to-face, although in an exceptional and justified way, telematic teaching can be combined with face-to-face teaching up to a maximum of 10% of the hours of the subject, and in the case of practical teaching carried out with telematic means, the 25%.
Tutorials can be partially carried out electronically.
In scenario 2, two modalities are contemplated: 100% physical presence, when the teaching organization allows it; and a combination of 50% physical presence and 50% telematics.
The tutorials will preferably be done electronically.
Scenario 3: closure of the facilities (impossibility of teaching face-to-face teaching).
The development of the will be completely telematic in nature, with synchronous or asynchronous mechanisms.
The tutorials will be exclusively telematic.
