In RD1393/2007, the following basic competencies (CB) are described:
The Bachelor's Degree in Law follows a methodology based on teaching-learning, centered on the student, which promotes active participation and promotes the development of general and specific skills that demonstrate knowledge, skills and attitudes applicable in a future professional practice. The teaching methodology is based on the use of ICT as a support to collaborative work (forums, chats, meeting by videoconference), the teacher's orientations (agenda, bulletin board, document folder, links) and the submission of assignments (task mailbox and work tools). The Blackboard Virtual Campus will be used for this purpose.
All these techniques mean that the student assumes an active role in his/her academic training. In addition, the work of the professor acquires a guiding dimension of support and guidance, which must be consistent with a transparent and formative evaluation system that faithfully reflects the knowledge and skills acquired.
The training activities are carried out through different teaching strategies: online theoretical classes, online practical cases, online tutorials, and academic activities among which are the reading and analysis of jurisprudence, assignments through virtual resources, search and selection of jurisprudence and legislation; exams and activities for evaluation, individual or small group work.
