SUBJECT PROGRAMME:

Observations:


The sessions will be divided into:
 
1. Theoretical sessions
 
The teacher will introduce the subject, explain the theoretical concepts that will work. The student must acquire the technical vocabulary and become accustomed to functioning properly on web projects. These sessions include lectures, presentations and audiovisual material.
 
2. Practical Sessions
 
Once the theoretical concepts have been raised, the student must work on their practices individually. To do this, they will have time in the classroom, with the teacher's help to solve the problems and concerns they may have, although what is intended with the practices is that the students themselves are able to solve problems independently.
 
Coursework to do will be explained in the classroom and the criteria for evaluating them will be clearly explained.
