Teaching method

Oral theoretical lectures.

Practical lessons in the lab with practical group work and individual research.

Evaluation method

This course adopts the continuous evaluation method.

Frequency is obtained with the presence and participation at a minimum of 2/3 of the practical classes.

The practical component of the course is assessed by a set of practical assignments (TPI1 - 10%+TPI2 - 25%+TPI3 - 35%). Students who fail to deliver TPI2 and TPI3 will automatically be rejected for lack of attendance. The practical assignments (TPI2 and TPI3) will be executed in person, but can be complemented outside the practical classes.

The theoretical component is evaluated through two tests (TT1 - 15%+TT2 - 15%). The tests will be performed in person.

Students approved and with frequency in the practical component of the course, but who aren’t approved in the theoretical evaluation have access to a written exam.
