Teaching method

The syllabus of the COURSE will be conducted according to an expository method (with the presentation of diapositivosDatashow), promoting the dialogue-oriented interaction and discussion with students in the classroom, stimulating educational action. The theoretical classes are complemented with 4 laboratory practical work, promoting a strong link between theory and practice.

Evaluation method

The evaluation of discipline against the experimental nature, is divided into two parts:

50% Exam

50%  4 mini reports including the oral discussion in the form of presentation
