| Methodologies | Description |
| Introductory activities | The first day of class the teacher will facilitate the program of the subject, the methodology and the assessment criteria, as well as a detailed calendar of each of the activities. This information will remain available for the student in the Moodle platform. |
| Document analysis | We will inform the students of the necessary bibliographical sources, both for problems, theory and assisted assignments. Thus, they will be able to revise and build on the aspects explained in the classroom. The individual tutorial sessions will also help to better understand the contents of the course. |
| Laboratory practice | Along the six Laboratory sessions students will work in pairs. A guide for each practice will be given to the student, and they will have all the necessary materials in order to complete the task. At all times students will be assisted by the teacher to resolve any doubts and receive assistance if necessary. At the end of laboratory course, each pair will present a report including the completed tasks and the obtained results. Prior to the Laboratory sessions there will be a room session to explain the basis of experimental uncertainties and graphical representations. |
| Problem solving | After each lesson, there will be Seminars (with a reduced number of students) in order to apply the studied concepts through solving problems. The proposed problems for each lesson will be given to the students beforehand as bulletins. There, we will include the numerical solution of each problem, so students can assess their own skills. Those bulletins will be of two different types: some of them are general, the same for all students of the three groups, and some are complementary, specific for each seminar group. Not all problems will be completely resolved in the Seminars, but only the more difficult ones. |
| Objective test | There will be two written exams about the theory and numerical problems saw in classroom. The first one at the middle of the course and the second one at the end. The students who pass each of those exams will have that part of the subject passed for the Final exams of June (and July). |
| Guest lecture / keynote speech | The basic content of the different parts of the course will be explained by the teacher in these sessions, trying to involve students in the learning process. The materials used at each session will be available in the Moodle platform after the session. |
| Supervised projects | The students will be able to complete complementary supervised projects on a voluntary basis. These tasks will conducted in pairs and they will be focused on applications of Physics to Biology. |
