Lectures: theoretical topics will be presented, following the recommended bibliography.



Classroom practices: problems and exercises proposed to the students will be solved in class, to understand, develop and work with the topics of the lectures.



Seminars: the lecturer will propose works related to the topics of the subject to the students. The students will show the work carried out in the seminar, presenting it and arguing what has been done.
