The course
will be developed through :

Lectures. The subject concepts are presented
through multimedia presentations, theoretical presentations and
implementation examples.

Practices. develops contents through practical
activities involving the application knowledge .

 
 
Group tutorials . This activity will be organized
in
short seminars where it would study by problems in some of the
topics studied in master class.

 
Seminars. Seminars of topics related to the
context in which the course is organized.

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 rating system will be governed by the provisions of RD
1125/2003 of 5 of September by the European credit system and the
grading system in
the university degrees of character oficial.For the evaluation of
the subject is established, it shall review and process critical
evaluation (60% of the final grade for the course), but, in order
to deprive the review has taken into account other evaluation
criteria such as attendance and participation in class, reports
laboratory practices and delivery of activities proposed by the
profesor.



In regard to examination, it is necessary that students
acquire a minimum rating of five points of ten in order to pass the
course. It should be added that attendance at practices and
delivery of reports of practices is mandatory. Additionally, you
must score at least 3 points of 10 in each of the memories
presented
practices. Non-delivery of reports of practical on dates set by the
teacher will stay the course.
