Methodologies

	Description
Autonomous problem solving	During the course, a diverse set of complementary exercises will be proposed to the students, that can include problems of calculation, analysis of cases, reading of scientific articles, reading of press articles, videos, etc. These activities will be made individually or in group, and will require autonomous work. This type of exercise requires that the student have access to Internet to work with Official Databases, and that the student could work with Excel (or similar calculus software).
Introductory activities	In the introductory activities, we will present the subject, his contents and aims, as well as the temporal planning and the system of evaluation. Some test of previous knowledges or a checking of the understanding of the evalluation system may be applied during this introductory activities.
Practices through ICT	Practices in the Computing Lab will require the students to make exercises and analysis of cases, in which the students will learn to handle statistical information with the analytical methods. With these exercises the students will learn to organise information, summarize and clean/select data, build indicators, etc. This will demand basic calculations and graphic/written representations.
Lecturing	In the theory classes, the contents of the subject will developed. Key ideas will be explained, supported by data and analytical and synthetical tools. The theory lessons may contain problems and case analysis.
