| Methodologies | Description |
| Introductory activities | Initial session to introduce the subject, where students will be informed about the contents of the course, 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, including self-assestment tests. |
| 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 | Students will carry out 7 laboratory practices related to the theoretical contents that are addressed in the classroom and that will last 2 hours each. The students will have the script of the work that will be perfomed during each session and the previous materials (readings, videos, etc.) that will be reviewed before starting the experimentation. The teaching staff will explain the most relevant theoretical aspects of each practice. Students must previously read the script before entering the laboratory, and bring it with them. Each student will individually write a report/notebook of the practices, where he/she will include the objective and theoretical background of the practice, a scheme/picture of the employed material, the performed experiments, observations, and obtained results, as well as extract conclusions and answer the proposed questions. This report will be sent to the corresponding teacher using the Moodle platform, in .pdf format, for its evaluation. |
| 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. Students must upload the solutions of a serie of proposed exercises to Moodle previously to the tutorials. 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 means of a written exam. |
