The development of large group and small group lectures will be focused on promoting quality teaching by giving priority to activities that foster inclusive and equitable learning (SDG-4).
A1 - Lectures in large group
The methodology to be followed in the lectures in large group lectures will be a mixture of theory introduction and exposing general examples with a practical perspective in the classroom designated for the subject in the middle.
The student must follow the teacher's presentation/explanation with the material provided for this purpose, slide show/notes, which must be completed with your own notes and the subsequent revision of the recommended basic bibliography.
Active, respectful and responsible participation, either to raise questions or to respond to requests or questions from the teacher, will be evaluated positively in a corresponding factor.
The autonomous student work should focus on the review of the concepts, theoretical and practical aspects taught in class, conducting exercises and studying them with the material provided by the teacher, student notes and bibliography.
Furthermore, control lectures will be held to monitor the progress and assimilation of the concepts by students.
A2 - Classes in groups of practices
Firstly, work in small group classes will be based on practical activities in the laboratory. The student's work will focus on developing applications or learning tasks designated by the teacher, culminating with the achievement of the targets for each practice. Secondly, small group classes consist of solving exercises, study cases and practical issues about the subject.
Attendance and active, respectful and responsible participation, either to raise questions or to respond to requests or questions from the teacher, it will be evaluated positively in a corresponding factor.
With regard to self-work, it will focus on the development of the software/projects/documentation/exams/expositions for every practice and to complete the work that has been initiated in the laboratory and that could not be completed in the corresponding session.
Furthermore, control/exposition sessions in the small group classes will be held to monitor the progress and assimilation of the concepts by students.
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
DETAILED INFORMATION
At the end of the semester, the student has to choose between two methods of evaluation: CONTINUOUS EVALUATION or FINAL EXAM.
CONTINUOUS EVALUATION
This assessment method is organised according to the activities described in the previous table.
To pass the subject, the student has to get a mark higher or equal than 5.0 out of 10 in the overall result of the evaluated aspects, as long as he or she has obtained a mark higher or equal than 4.0 in each one of those assessed aspects.
FINAL EXAM EVALUATION
This kind of evaluation is based in only one written exam that evaluates all the aspects of the subject, by assessing the students' acquisition of all the competences and learning outcomes established in the subject. This exam will take place during the Examination period on a date established by the centre. The final exam is weighted in the following way:
- Attendance and participation (S1), Theoretical concepts (S2) and Exercises, problems and study cases (S3): 70%.
- Laboratory and computer practical work (S4): 30%.
In order to pass the subject, the student must have marks higher or equal to 5.0 out of 10 at each part of the final exam.
The students who have already fulfil the requirements of aspect S4 (Laboratory or computer practical work) through the CONTINUOUS EVALUATION, by obtaining a mark higher or equal to 5.0 out of 10 do not have to make this part in the FINAL EXAM evaluation.
Those aspects successfully completed with a mark higher or equal to 5.0 will be considered passing during that academic year.

Teaching methodology Description |
A1. Lectures with big group of students |
100% in person class |
Participatory master class sessions, lasting one or two hours each, held in the classroom. |
A2. Lectures with practical groups |
100% in person class |
Development of practical sessions, lasting two hours each, in laboratories. |
Schedule
The schedule can vary mainly due to the change from multi-modal scenario to the online one.
Evaluation system
There are no changes in the evaluation format (weights of each section) or in what is specified in the detailed evaluation.
Since the evaluation of the subject is continuous, there will only be an exam in the event that the student opts for the Single Test Evaluation, which is summarized in the following tables:

Teaching methodology Description |
A1. Lectures with big group of students . - Synchronous classes by videoconference. - Asynchronous classes based on videos and / or audiovisual content, forums, interactive material, etc. |
Online |
The sessions of participative face-to-face classes, of one or two hours each, are replaced by other activities carried out through the Internet such as:- - Classes by videoconference or in virtual classroom - Visualization of videos with explanation of the theoretical contents. - Review of interactive material on the subject. - Review of content on the Internet (forums, - specialized websites) |
A2. Lectures with practical groups |
Online |
Practical sessions are replaced by online training activities, of two hours each, by other activities carried out through the Internet such as: - Virtualized or simulation activities. - Visualization of videos with explanation of the practical contents. - Review of interactive material about practices. - Online content review (forums, specialized websites, etc.) |
Schedule
The schedule can vary mainly due to the change from multi-modal scenario to the online one. In this modality, the replacement of hardware practices by software practices with simulators of optical systems and other analyses of optical schematics and problem solving and case studies is contemplated.
