Everything presented and discussed in the classroom will be dealt with, encouraging both participation and debate during class time, both as a result of the lectures and after the work presented by the students in class.



The materials that make up the explanations given in class will be available to students on the e-gela platform (https://egela.ehu.eus /), as well as any other material necessary for practices or presentations in class. The teacher will inform students of this when necessary.
