4. COURSE DESCRIPTION AND TEACHING METHODOLOGY

The methodology proposed for the theoretical part is based on master classes in a large group, encouraging the active participation of students through open questions and short exercises to solve in class.

The practical part will be developed in small groups, with the realization of problems, practical exercises related to the most relevant aspects of the subject and individual works also related to the 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

5. ASSESSMENT METHODOLOGY

To assess the attendance of the students, a control will be made in each of the theoretical and practical sessions.

In order to evaluate the realization of a work related to the subject (CB2, CB3, CB4 and CB5) students will be asked to submit it in writing in the format indicated and their public exposure.

To evaluate the resolution of practical exercises related to the most important aspects of the subject (CEQ1, CEQ2, Resul-13 and Resul-14) a written exam will be carried out
