The scripts will have questions that the students will have to answer and deliver once finished the practices.
During laboratory sessions, and on a simultaneous way to the realisation of the experiments, the student will have to elaborate a fascicle of laboratory that collect the calculations and the experimental procedures. The professor will review the notebook of each student in each laboratory session.
Short answer questions Exams about the topics of the subject will be carried out employing short answer questions . These exams will be realised employing the Moodle platform.
Supervised projects Siupervised learning process in small groups (3-4 students) with the aim of helping students to work independently and encouraging students to become responsible for their own learning.
The proposed activities will be related with problem solving sessions. The students will work together to solve the tasks assigned by the teacher, with the aim of optimising their learning experience and that of other members of group. The activities will be discussed in a tutelage session.


Mixed objective/subjective test Two written exams will be carried out in each one of the two official announcements of January/July. One of them will evaluate the learning of the student by means of questions of theory and applied theory and the other one will consist on the resolution of problems.
