A final synchronous online test will also be carried out through Google Forms, which will represent 50% of the final grade.

RESOURCES AND FACILITIES

Analysis of practical cases and oral presentations will be online with Google Meet.

The adaptation to online teaching implies the use of synchronous and asynchronous activities with the support offered at the Intranet site -Docencia Virtual- at Universidad de Jaén and videoconferences by Hangout Meet.
