Methodologies Description
Introductory activities Initial session to introduce the subject, where students will be informed about the content that is intended to cover, 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. The presentations, covering the basic content and additional material, 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 The students will perform seven lab practices related to the fundamental contents of the subject. The lab sessions will last two hours each. The scripts for the practices include the experimental procedure and some related questions. At the end of the sessions the students must submit an individual written report collecting the lab work, observations, results, and answers to proposed questions.
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. 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 mean a written exam.
