Teaching method
During theoretical classes the teacher introduces the main concepts supported in adequate audio-visual means such as slides and videos which are facilitated afterwards to enhance autonomous study.
Experimental classes are synchronized with the theoretical ones. Students develop experimental work in the lab targeting also team work.
Individual assessment is performed through 3 written tests and 1 pratical work done in teams of 2-4 students or, alternatively, 1 exams. Only students with a grade not lower than 10 are approved.
Evaluation method
Practical projects.
2 assignments and a practical work in teams or 1 final exam
