Methodology
I) The course will run for eight weeks distributed as follows:
- Six weeks with large group classes, of four hours a week, with the following structure:
- Two hours of exhibitions or class presentations, PowerPoint type, to develop the content of the subject.
- One hour of performing numerical exercises
- One hour of debate and discussion on a topic related to the course content.
- A week devoted to experimental work in small groups with:
- Two hours of laboratory and outdoor measurements
- Two hours of practical use of simulation software in computer lab
- A week, with a four-hour session, for the presentation of the work done by the students.
II) It will be available, in advance, at the virtual teaching platform of the subject:(http://dv.ujaen.es/docencia/goto_docencia_crs_134777.html)
- Slides of the lessons
- The proposal of numerical exercises
- Documentation for debate & discussion topics
- Instructions for performing the simulation & experimental practices
- Instructions and suggested topics for conducting student works
III) The overall self-work of the students to achieve the learning objectives of the course include the following activities:
- Theoretical study of the lessons through the documentation provided (class presentations) and recommended bibliography.
- Performing the numerical exercises.
- Carrying out the experimental practices and report thereof.
- Development of a work of a single topic with two possibilities:
Preparation of a monograph on it(text and presentation) or
Review of the monograph made by other student.

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 assessment of knowledge and student work in this course will be made by three methods:
1 -. Through the completion by the student of a monograph on a
topic related to this course and its oral presentation in class.The
objectives of this test are:
a) increase student culture on topics related to the subject;
b) To the students get use to the literature search
andscientific and technical information, and
c) Increase the student's ability to perform a self-learnin
gand oral presentations. (Weight 20%)
2 - Through the realization of experimental practices and/or simulation. To set the theoretical concepts, taking contact with the complexity of the experimental measurements and the actual devices. (Weight 20%)
3 - Through a written test with theoretical questions and numerical exercises to demonstrate acquired knowledge and mastery of techniques for applying thereof. (Weight 60%)
