Description |
| Guest lecture / keynote speech |
In these lectures the teacher will present the contents of the different themes, enphasizing their main aspects. |
| Seminar |
There will be taught in small groups. This methodology is designed to enforcement activities of the theoretical and resolution of issues, discussion sessions and directed discussion, problems, cases, etc.. |
| Laboratory practice |
In addition to the lectures, students will also have sessions of laboratory work that are compulsory. Non-completion of this activity will prevent passing the subject. |
| Case study |
There will be taught in very small groups of students, and they shall be written and developed experiments, calculations or treatment procedures and data analysis, and interpreted the results. |
| Supervised projects |
There will be complement to the lectures and the workshops and seminars. Also, there will be carried out through the use of ICTs. |
| Objective test |
This test will be used to assess the degree of acquisition of skills by students as well as to point out those aspects of the subject that present greater difficulty. |

| Description |
There will be tutorial sessions to supervise: case study, supervised project, seminar and laboratory sessions.
These tutorials are configured not only as individual interviews to supervise their work, but also to guide the students in a clear definition of the objectives and prevent the spread of content, thereby ensuring that they achieve the competencies described in the matter.
Those students having a part-time dedication to the course, and thus waiver of assistance to the on-site academic activities according to the regulations of UDC, follow different dynamics that require additional personalized attention. The waiver applied to each student is fixed after a personal interview with the instructor on the basis of the student's personal circumstances. The tutoring sessions are scheduled in this interview upon agreement between the student and the instructor, who fixes the number of different workshops to be graded using this methodology and the deadlines for the presentation of the problem-sheets. The grade obtained by the student in these activities will correspond to the average of the grades achieved for each workshop. The tutoring sessions focus on discussions about the contents of the course and revision of the problem sheets solved by the student. The student might also have short tests to assess the degree of compliance with the objectives of the course.

Assessment comments |
To pass the course it is necessary to get a minimum of 50 points (relative to a maximun of 100) in the different teaching activies. It is also necessary to obtain a minimum of 15 points (relative to a maximum of 30) in the “mixed test”. If this minimum of 15 is not reached, the final grade will be the grade obtained in the “mixed test”.
In accordance with the regulations (“Probas de Avaliación e Actas de Cualificación de Grao e Mestrado” (Art.3.b e 4.5)), the "2nd opportunity" (July) is only a second chance for the final exam (“mixed test”). The grade on this 2nd opportunity of the “mixed test” will be added to those obtained during the course in the different teaching activities. The percentages are the same as in the "1st opportunity".
“Matricula de honor (MH)” is the highest grade, awarded to very outstanding students having passed the course in the “1st opportunity”. MH can be achieved in the "2nd opportunity" only if still available.
Those students having a part-time dedication to the course, and thus waiver of assistance to the on-site academic activities according to the regulations of UDC ("Normas de avaliación, revisión e reclamación das cualificacións dos estudos de grao e mestrado universitario" (Art. 3 e 8b)), will be supported as follows: 70% of the overall grade corresponds to the assessment of the personal work of the student (case study, supervised projects, seminars...), short tests and the personal interviews. The grades corresponding to this part are valid for both the first and second opportunities. The remaining 30% of the grade corresponds to the assessment of the mixed test. Students have a second chance to be assessed with a mixed test in July. The grade obtained in July for the mixed test replaces that obtained in the first opportunity.
