Description |
| Guest lecture / keynote speech |
The teacher presents the fundamental concepts and develops the essential aspects of the subject. It also raises different issues to be discussed and resolved by the students, thereby encouraging their participation.
At the end of each block the students are given a questionnaire to be solved and given to the teacher, which will contribute to the evaluation of the subject. |
| Seminar |
In the theoretical session, the course is presented and the material for the development of the different subjects is provided, as are: scripts or previous schemes with the fundamental aspects of the subject, which the student must know to understand and take advantage of what are taught in the course.
In the laboratory session the questions related to the preparation of the report are addressed.
|
| Laboratory practice |
The script of the laboratory practice includes:
- Questions that the student has to solve before entering the laboratory that will help him to achieve the knowledge and skills related to the experimental work.
- A scheme of the experimental procedure.
- Issues related to the work done in the laboratory: justification for selection of instrumental parameters, obtaining information from the experimental results, etc..
In the laboratory, the student performs the selection of the experimental conditions, contributes to the adjustment and optimization of the experimental variables, the introduction of the samples, performs calculations of experimental parameters, concentrations, etc. At the end he must submit a report of the practices carried out.
|
| Objective test |
It consists of a written exam that includes short answer and/or choice questions about the theoretial and practical contents taught in the course.

| Description |
In the seminar students pose thier questions and comments and the teacher serves in a personalized way the different aspects.
In the laboratory sessions, the teacher monitors each student performing operations, so that an incident will not happen, taking into account that complex instrumentation is being used in most cases. |
