Theoretical classes (3,2 ECTS): Presentation of the units with the use of TIC. Teaching material is available on the virtual platform at the university, library and internet. Practical classes (1,0 ECTS): Students, will make several labs experiments related to the theoretical class. The results obtained will be analyzed and discussed among all the participants and finally, the conclusions will be writed in the lab notebook. Academically directed activities (1,6 ECTS): A) Study and discussion of daily news related with the theoretical program. B) Presentation of report and debate on the content of documentaries related to the subject and projected during the development of the theoretical classes. C) Resolution of exercises in classroom and laboratory. D) Analysis of scientific bibliography. Tutorials (0,2 ECTS): Specialized tutorials will be carried out to supervise the activities proposed in class.
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 following assessment criteria have been taken into account to reach the final mark (100%) :
