Not applicable

This curricular unit aims to assist students during the Work Project, by answering concrete questions that may arise. Thus, the contents can always be adapted to the specific needs of students, existing, however, a set of minimum content to discuss with students during their follow-up: S1. Identification and definition of the investigation/intervention problem S2. Active and creative search for research/intervention methods and techniques S3. Presentation of results and conclusions S4. Construction of the Work Project report according to writing and discussion rules.

The methodology integrates synchronous classes, conducted via Zoom at pre-scheduled times, enabling real-time interaction, clarification of doubts, and contextualized examples. Concurrently, asynchronous learning allows students to access content such as video lectures, webinars, forums, emails, and recorded videos on the Moodle platform without requiring simultaneous presence. Synchronous sessions are recorded and made available for later consultation. The process is complemented by digital tools like Google for Education (Docs, Drive, Forms, Slides, Academic), Turnitin, Prezi, and Canva, which promote collaboration and autonomous study, creating a flexible and integrated learning environment.
