  Description
Master Session The master lesson is the common form of development of the expository function, in which the teacher develops a series of concepts related to the contents of the Subject, and the student adopts a receptive role of this information.

The use of audiovisual media (slides, transparencies, videos, video canon, etc.) will be constant in these classes since the retention of information is much greater when combining oral and visual stimuli.

The masterful lesson serves to conceptually develop a theme, give global versions, develop a working methodology. etc.

Depending on the progress of the course, the content of each didactic unit will be provided in advance and in writing, either as notes or as a bibliography, which enables the student to attend classes with previous reading of the topic. On the other hand, if the student knows that what is taught can be found in a book when studying, his attitude in the classroom will be directed to understand the explanation, having to take only marginal notes of what is expanded.

In the case of this subject, the use of audiovisual media such as digital presentations, multimedia, transparencies, rear projection, etc. Should expedite the exposure of topics with a marked descriptive character, or in which drawings and schemes of complicated implementation are needed.

The classes of directed discussion, will be made at least one throughout the course and consists of the presentation of a topic, which must meet characteristics of real problem, richness in contradictions or reasons for controversy, should be of interest to the students, who Must know the activity well enough and be sufficiently qualified to express opinions about it.

The technique is oriented to overcoming uncritical memorization, fostering participation in the group and verbalization of ideas as a means that favors their assimilation. In addition, an important part of the pupils is a difficulty in expression and writing, which can contribute to overcome through this didactic resource. The role of the teacher as the conductor or moderator of the discussion is fundamental allowing all kinds of opinions on the subject.

In addition, and in a complementary way to the lecture, after the presentation of controversial topics or of special interest for the students, it is interesting to organize discussions of reduced scope, questions, etc. Such an activity, which is simpler to perform than the previous one, can be considered more as a resource of elaboration and control within the master's lesson than as a technique of a nature alien to it.

Other tools that help to reinforce the contents included in the master lessons are.
- Case study / situation analysis / directed discussion: Formulation, analysis, resolution and debate of a problem or exercise related to the thematic of the subject.
- Solving problems and / or exercises in an autonomous way: Formulation, analysis, resolution and debate of a problem or exercise related to the subject matter of the subject.
- Presentations / expositions: Oral presentation by the students of a specific subject or work (usually written presentation).
- Multimedia Sessions: Use of videographic / online material on aspects of the subject
- Study exits / field practices: Visits-outings to the field for the observation and study of aspects previously studied / analyzed
Troubleshooting and / or exercises Resolution of problems and / or exercises Formulation, analysis,
Resolution and debate of a problem or exercise related to the theme of the
Subject, by the students.
Exercises and problems will be carried out on topics such as: static study of forest masses, dynamic study of the forest masses, etc
Outdoor study / field practices The practice of the techniques, theoretically learned, must be carried out in contact with the professional practice which can only be obtained by actual practice of the techniques (or their direct observation) wherever they are carried (Industry, forest masses, etc.)

The practice of techniques, theoretically learned, must be carried out in close contact with professional practice which can only be obtained by practicing techniques (or their direct observation) wherever they are carried out (industry, forest masses, etc.).
The maximum number of field practices or practical trips should be carried out, without which theoretical teaching is insufficient to achieve the teaching objectives.
The field practices are therefore intended to establish the concepts of the subject, give students the opportunity to get in touch with the professional world and foster relationships between students and teacher student outside the center. The realization of practical trips make sense when they really contribute new knowledge that are impossible to acquire in the School itself.
Integrated methodologies - Organization of specific seminars or conferences
- Presentations / exhibitions: Oral presentation by the students of a theme
Concrete or work (usually written presentation).
- Multimedia Sessions: Use of videographic / online material on aspects of the
subject
- Days of study of aspects previously studied / analyzed in field trips
Case studies / analysis of situations Case study / situational analysis - Case study / situation analysis or directed discussion: Formulation, analysis, resolution and debate of a problem or exercise related to the subject matter of the subject ..
