Syllabus Information

5.1. Methodological overview

Subject’s learning process to pass the subject is based on the following aspects:

1. Masterclasses where the lecturer will explain the main theoretical concepts as well as will illustrate the application of the theoretical material via exercises and practical cases. Active students’ participation is intended in this activity. In parallel, the students should spend self-study time in order to take advantage of the masterclasses.
2. Laboratory sessions will be scheduled during the semester. Lab sessions’ assessment will contribute to the single overall mark. Lab sessions’ groups will consist of two or three members.
3. Supervised projects where students will work in problem solving tasks or a practical question proposed by the professor and related with the concepts learned in the subject.
4. Self-study time, learning the subject as well as performing problem solving tasks. This activity is essential for the student’s learning process as well as to have success to pass the subject.
