Evaluation Methodology:
An activity plan will be designed for each student based on their interests and the diagnosis of their difficulties in order to contribute to their ability to achieve the objectives. This process will be carried out through a tutorial orientation so that there can be a customization. After each seminar the student presents a written report that will be debated, being the student stimulated to carry out an autonomous bibliographic research and make a critical analysis based on his ideas. Finally, based on a tutorial orientation of the teacher, the student should design and present an oral communication, applying the knowledge and skills acquired in solving a problem that he defined. The evaluation will be done through the reports based on the written and oral component (presentation and discussion - 40%) and the article and communication presented (60%).
