We will follow the general directives established in the Master in Mathematics of the University of Santiago de Compostela (USC).
A key aspect in teaching at any educational level is the motivation of the concepts that are introduced. Thus, in Mathematics it is necessary to adopt a methodological approach that first introduces the notions and results that will be studied by means of examples. In this initial phase, the new concepts must be connected in a natural way with previous knowledge, in order to contribute to a unifying image of Mathematics. After this first stage, the properties, results and methods associated with the concepts will be developed. Finally, such contents will be reinforced through more examples, exercises and problems of different difficulty and nature. In addition, in accordance with the spirit of the European Higher Education Area, where students become an active subject and motor of their own learning, many of these exercises and problems must be carried out by the students, in order to consolidate and assimilate contents.
Among the teaching methodologies presented in the syllabus, we will use, above all:
M1 Teacher expositions
M2 Presentations by the students
M3 Resolution of exercises
M4 Reading and study by students
M5 Discussions in class
M9 Summaries and proposed works
M10 Complementary readings
The assessment system will follow USC regulations, located at
https://www.xunta.gal/dog/Publicados/2011/20110721/AnuncioG2018-190711-…
For the calculation of the final grade, the continuous assessment and the final exam will be considered. In any case, the final mark will never be lower than that of the final examination.
Continuous assessment (40%). The continuous assessment will be carried out through the completion of proposed exercises, both individually or in groups, and through the participation of students.
These activities will be used to assess the learning outcomes, the ability to work in teams, and self-study.
Final examination (60%). Each student will sit a written final exam to verify the acquisition of concepts and results, and their applicability to concrete cases.
In case of dishonest execution of exercises or assessments the following regulation will be applied:
