Syllabus Information

5.1. Methodological overview

The learning process designed for this subject is based on the following:

Theoretical classes

the classic lecture format will be used but usually will be done through slides

the student will be able to download  it from the Internet

 

Practical classes

They will be held in the computer pool.  Practice will be hold in the composites lab.
 

Subject work

They can be individual and / or grouped. It will be decided depending upon the number of students.
