| Methodologies | Description |
| Guest lecture / keynote speech | Lectures will be used to deliver the main the contents of each unit of the course, highlighting their most important aspects and paying particular attention to the fundamental concepts and / or those that are most difficult for students to understand. Lectures are interactive sessions, in which students are expected to participate by asking questions and requesting clarification of ideas or concepts. |
| Laboratory practice | They will focus on the preparation and study of crystalline substances, as well as their characterization by X-ray diffraction, and the interpretation of the results obtained using computer programs. The students will prepare a laboratory notebook in which they will describe the work done in the laboratory and the analysis of the results, as well as the main conclusions. |
| Workshop | An eminently practical training activity designed with the aim of addressing those aspects of the subject that are most difficult to understand. The work will be carried out individually or in groups under the direction of the teaching staff. |
| Mixed objective/subjective test | Final exam that will be carried out in the date fixed by the faculty board. Its content will include development and test questions, as well as problem exercises that will be similar to those analyzed throughout the course. Its objective is to obtain an evaluation of the level of knowledge and competences reached by the students, as well as to evaluate their capacity to relate them and to obtain an overview of the subject. |
| Objective test | Periodically, students will carry out a series of short tests in the problem solving sessions, which will include multiple-choice or short-answer questions. These tests are conceived both for the evaluation of the degree of acquisition of competences and for the consolidation of the contents presented in the lectures. This activity will allow not only to monitor the evolution of the students, but will also serve to detect those aspects of the subject that present a greater difficulty of understanding. |
| Seminar | These sessions will be dedicated to the resolution of problems and questions by the students, with the guidance of the teaching staff. These problems will be facilitated sequenced over time in accordance with the contents discussed in the lectures, and will be made available to the students with enough time so they can work on them before the corresponding face-to-face session. |
