Theoretical sessions
MD1.Master class: expository class sessions based on the teacher's explanation in which they attend
all students enrolled in the subject.
MD3. Presentations: multimedia formats that support face-to-face classes.
MD4. Video capsules: resource in video format, which includes contents or demonstrations of the axes

face-to-face courses that offer a practical perspective and in which student participation is key.
MD6. Debates and forums: face-to-face or online conversations, depending on the objectives of the teacher
responsible for the subject pursue. The debates have a start and end date and are energized by the teacher
MD7. Case study: dynamics that start from the study of a case that serves to contextualize the '
studying in a specific situation, the teacher can propose different activities, both individually and in groups.

Autonomous learning
MD9. Solving exercises and problems: non-contact activity dedicated to solving exercises
practical from the data provided by the teacher.
MD10. Research and critical reading of articles. Students start from a working hypothesis that
they will develop, following the phases of the research methodology, among which is critical reading
of articles.
MD11. Non-contact tutorials: why the student will have telematic resources such as mail
electronic and ESCSET intranet resources.
