Methodologies Description
Introductory activities Initial session to introduce the subject, where students will be informed about the contents of the course, the teaching methodology -for large and small groups- and the assessment criteria.
Guest lecture / keynote speech The theoretical content will be discussed at the keynote sessions, through multimedia presentations given by the teaching staff. Those presentations will take place simultaneously in the classroom and via teams. The presentations, covering the basic content, additional material and recorded videos of the sessions, will be available for the students at the Moodle platform.
Seminar The seminars will address the analysis and resolution of some of the previously proposed exercises. In order to make the most of these sessions, it is very important that students work the exercises prior to their resolution in the classroom. The proposed exercises, and the data tables, will be available in advance at the Moodle platform.
Laboratory practice Students will carry out 7 practices related to the theoretical contents that are addressed in the classroom. These practices will take place in the laboratory and / or virtually and will last 2 hours each. In each practice, the teaching staff will explain the most relevant theoretical aspects, and the students will have the work script to be carried out and the previous materials (readings, videos, etc.) that will be reviewed before starting the session. The script for each of the practices will include the experimental procedure and a final questionnaire. Each student will individually write a report/notebook of the practices, and in it they will describe the work done in the laboratory and virtually, the observations made, the results obtained and the answers to the questionnaire.
Supervised projects The main target of these sessions is the follow-up of the comprehension of the subject by the students. For this purpose, 8 sessions of 1 hour of tutoring in small groups are scheduled. Students must prepare each tutorial in advance, studying the corresponding contents and solving the exercises of the previous bulletins that will be available at the Moodle platform. Students must upload the solutions to the proposed exercises to Moodle previously to the tutorials. In the tutorials the proposed exercises will be solved and discussed on the board, preferably by the students. Brief short tests by surprise and/or through the Moodle platform can be carried out during these tutorials and they will contribute to the final assessment.
Objective test The degree of concepts assimilation and problem solving skills of the students will be assessed by means of a written exam.
