4. COURSE DESCRIPTION AND TEACHING METHODOLOGY

In the master classes will be developed the contents for theory and propose works and relations of problems to be performed by the student. In the field and laboratory sessions the teachers will explain the exercises and the student should develop and solve them. 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
