Self-study guide
Week 9-11
Teacher: Carlos Miguel Gomez Cortes
I am counting on you to make this distance learning process the best of the semester at
Tecnológico Comfenalco. I´m here to support you every step of the way. I am glad to have you
in classes as you continue your journey to the graduation stage. This self-study guide will help
you out understand much better the topics of these three coming weeks.

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 these 3 coming weeks
I will share a self-study guide every three weeks 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 MUST. The guide is
divided as follows:
Stage 1: Warm-up.
Stage 2: Topic presentation.
Stage 3: Practice. INTERACT App
