Teaching methodology
The lectures
will take place in
theoretical
academic sessions
with the support of Information and communication
thecnologies, that will provide all necessary
teaching materials, references,
addresses, in order to allow
students to work independently.
The lab sessions
will be developed
in the laboratory, and
consist of
conducting experiments
in a guided session
of 2
hours. Students will grouped in
working teams and will have the support of the
laboratory notebook, containing basis of
experimental procedures.
The results
will
be
analyzed and discussed
globally
with the teacher.
Problems
and seminars sessions
will take in
one-hour sessions, focused to the resolution
of issues
worked
on the theory, and the
presentation and defense
of
work done by
groups of students
on
environmental
topic of interest
related to
the subjects.
In the tutorials (small groups)
will be discussions
on topics of interest related with theory
matter.
Students with special educational needs should contact the Student Attention Service (Servicio de Atención y Ayudas al Estudiante) in order to receive the appropriate academic support
