Self-study guide
First term

Teacher: CARMEN SOFIA BARRIOS SERRANO

Welcoming paragraph:
Hello my dear students. This document contains the topics we are going to work
the first term. Remember you have to study these topics and investigate a little
more about them in order to appropriate the concepts.
Methodology:

 We will be working our classes online. The 2 main tools we will use are: Microsoft
teams and Ferrum as well
 Online encounters will be scheduled every week through the platform Teams.
 All the information regarding the classes will be uploaded to Ferrum.
 We will develop our classes in three terms
 I will share a self-study guide every Term in which you´ll find information about our
study routine. So, you must keep in mind that the success of this new dynamic
depends highly on our discipline and our time management. Autonomy is a PLUS.
