| Methodologies | Description |
| Seminar | The seminars will cover the content of the topic Nanotechnology in Agriculture. They will review the potential applications of nanotechnology in the agricultural sector, and students will develop ad hoc case studies, which will require knowledge and application not only of the technology, but also of the legislation specific to the agricultural sector. |
| Laboratory practice | The laboratory will be used to solve practical cases that will include a series of individual or small group activities so that the student learns to handle different techniques used in environmental nanotechnology. Continuous monitoring of nanoparticles in ambient air will be carried out at the facilities of the University Institute of the Environment (IUMA). The students will have to write a report with a critical and detailed analysis of the work carried out. A visit to a water treatment plant is planned. |
| Mixed objective/subjective test | Written test to assess the learning outcomes of the students. It includes multiple-choice, association, explanation and problem-solving questions. |
| Guest lecture / keynote speech | The fundamental theoretical content of each subject will be taught using audiovisual and/or computer media. Dialogue and participation will be encouraged for a correct understanding of the subject with practical examples and case studies. To get the best use of the course, students will have access to the teaching materials for each subject on the Virtual Campus. |
