Description |
Guest lecture / keynote speech |
- Presentations in .pdf format (previously provided to students) containing the basic notes to follow the development of the subject, will be maid using a projector
- Theory will be presented using the blackboard and providing clarifying examples
- Short videos will be used to illustrate some key points in the development of the subject, both in the theoretical and practical parts. |
Laboratory practice |
- The use of the software package Octave, which will be used in the subject for symbolic and numerical computation, will be taught .
- Problems related to the subject will be solved using Octave |
Seminar |
- In small groups tutories (TGR), which are called 'Seminars' in this guide, doubts of students will be solved, as well as exercises of the problems sets -available on beforehand- or other problems proposed by the teacher or the students.
- In some seminars students can do, voluntarily, a project related with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG). In this educational task, the student will associate the contents of this subject with some of the SGD.
|
Objective test |
- A quiz consisting of a collection of theoretical and/or practical questions will be done |

Description |
- The diversity of the students and their background recomends giving an orientation, that should be carried out in the framework of a personalized tutorial action.
- In the laboratory sessions the teacher, who will be present in the clasroom, will guide and help students to develop the practises, teaching them in the use of a software package, helping them to understand some theoretical and practical aspects of the subject.
- During the seminars (TGR) the teacher will help the students in the resolution of theoretical and applied exercises.
- Tutorials will be held through the Teams platform to students who request it.

Qualification
|
Laboratory practice |
A1 B3 |
Up to 4 assessment tests will be carried out during the laboratory classes that will account for 40% of the final grade.
Only students enrolled part-time who have not been evaluated in the laboratory practical part will be able to take a specific test to recover 40% of the mark corresponding to this part. |
40 |
Seminar |
A1 B3 |
Throughout the course there will be two test-type tests with a maximum grade, each one, of 10% of the grade. Those students who do not reach the maximum grade in these written tests will be able to recover the remaining part by taking the mixed test.
Eventually and with prior agreement with the teacher, the student will be able to obtain this 20% of the grade by completing a project linked to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). |

Objective test |
A1 B3 |
The final exam, with a value between 40 and 60% (depending on the grade obtained in the seminar part) will consist of taking a written test. |

Assessment comments |
The student will finish the class period with a maximum of 60% of the grade, which will be obtained through two written controls (10% each) and the laboratory practice evaluation tests (40%). On the dates established by the Faculty Board, the student will perform, in writing, the final exam of the subject. The mark obtained in the final exam will be rescaled so that the student has the opportunity to make up the lost part of 20% of the grade corresponding to the written controls carried out during the seminars. The grade corresponding to the evaluation of the laboratory practices cannot be recovered. In this way, the maximum grade for the final exam will be between 4 and 6 points out of 10. The evaluation of the Seminars and the laboratory practices of the students with part-time enrollment may be carried out taking into account, as far as possible, their particular circumstances. Regarding the special call for December, the evaluation process will include: a) an objective test that will score a maximum of six points, b) an exam to evaluate the knowledge acquired in the laboratory practices, which will score a maximum of four points.
