1.- The lectures will be taught primarily as exposing lectures.
2.-
The
student will attend a mandatory practice sessions that will be
conducted the analysis of chemical compounds in different
biological and environmental matrices.
3. The
students will develop Academically Supervised Activities:
(a)
Seminars
/ Presentations: each student will select a topic of clinical or
environmental interest which will be finally exposed in class to
other colleagues; (b) E
xercises,
Problems and Test.
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
The theoretical examination
shall be written and
will be held
on the date set
by the Faculty of
Experimental Sciences.
The practical sessions
will be mandatory.
The
knowledge gained
will be evaluated
from the
lab notebook.
To
overcome the
Academically
Supervised Activities
will be taken
into account
attendance,
which is mandatory, and
the work
to be developed.
