Teaching method

Classes work in a practical theoretical regime.

In the classes the theoretical concepts are exposed, some demonstrations are carried out simultaneously illustrating their application through examples and exercises.

A substantial part of the study is done in the student''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''s autonomy, with the aid of notes and other bibliographical supports, and with the support of teachers to clarify doubts at pre-established times.

Evaluation method

The evaluation is os seminar type and is carried out through the accomplishment of individual projects delivered on the form of written reports. Both individual projects are valued between 0 and 20 and the final grade is the arithmetic mean of the individual projects classification.

The same evaluation method is applied to both continuous and suplementary evaluation.
