TEACHING AND LEARNING METHODOLOGIES AND ACTIVITIES:

Teaching and learning methodologies and activities applied:

Theory Sessions: Lectures will be used to explain the basis of the different chapters. When possible, explanations will be accompained by images, text or sound to be used as practical examples and discussion topics. During the sessions, the lecturer will propose activities or ask for information out of the students and he will resolve doubts.

Practical Sessions: There are individual labs and a practice in groups. For this practice, students will be grouped into groups of up to 5 students. Practical work will be the goal of the whole group, but students will be evaluated individually acording to the learning outcomes. During practice, students will use a problem-based learning methodological strategy.

The students will have the slides of all the chapters of the course. They should be able to expand it with the content explained in class and other bibliographic resources. The lecturer will be available to students during the tutorial schedule to help them in all matters concerning the course. On request, group tutorials may be programmed to control the work of the group. The course requires a significant effort by the student. The concepts explained in one chapter will be used in the following.
