Being a subject in extinction, face-to-face sessions of the subject are not contemplated, which will be replaced by material in the Virtual Classroom thanks to which the student will be able to complete a series of non-face-to-face training activities, of a practical nature, which ensure the understanding and assimilation of the contents.
The final grade will be the result of the sum of qualifications of the non-face-to-face training activities delivered through the Virtual Classroom.
Non-face-to-face: 75 hours (readings, review of contents, completion of non-face-to-face activities).
Total: 75 hours.
For a good follow-up of the subject, it is essential to have motivation and capacity to work, complying with the non-face-to-face activities in the established times. We recommend that the student consult the bibliography proposed in the program, and that he/she attends the tutorials whenever he/she needs to. It would be advisable for the student to have the ability to read in a foreign language, in addition to basic computer skills.
