4. COURSE DESCRIPTION AND TEACHING METHODOLOGY

Contents will be given in a master class format, makinguse of the
appropriate audiovisual means and procuring at all times the active
participation of the students.

Lectures will be complemented with applied work sessions, in which computational techniques will be used to predict molecular and macroscopic properties.
As the subject progresses, questions and/or exercises that students must solve to consolidate the concepts learned (non-classroom activities) will be proposed.

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

The continuous evaluation evaluates the competences CB6, CB7, CG5 and CT2, while the final exam evaluates the competences CEM1B, CEM2C, CEM3B and CEM4A.
