The course includes 53 videos and 12 exercises, and is totally practical. To take the course, you need a computer (with any operating system) and the RARs simulator.
The course should be followed in a sequential manner, starting with session 1. Concepts are introduced in a practical way, one after another. In each new session, concepts that build upon previous ones are introduced. Before moving on to the next session, try to do the proposed exercises. In the solutions section, you will find commented solutions. But remember, to master something and understand it perfectly, you need to practice it a lot. Do the exercises.
For URJC students, classes are live and in-person, and this material will be used as support. But the course is designed for anyone who speaks Spanish to follow, from anywhere in the world, at their own pace.
