- The literature will be recommended
- Audiovisual media for the development of the theory session will be used.
- At the end of the development of the chapter, a summary will be made and various issues will be discussed so that students can express their opinions.
The practical content of the course will follow the following methodology:
He analyzed the practices to develop and target them
He analyzed the software or media chosen for the implementation of practices
He will perform a memory or work, individual or group practice under study.
Specialized Tutorials: in the course thereof, the / as students attend in order to discuss the development of their studies, helping them to overcome the difficulties of learning.
Virtual Teaching Platform for tracking of the subject is used.

Students with special educational needs should contact the Student Attention Service (Servicio de Atención y Ayudas al Estudiante) in order to receive the appropriate academic support
