5.1. Methodological overview

The learning process designed for this subject has been based upon ...

The 6 ECTS credits will be broken down into participatory tasks, as follows:

40 hours of lectures or classes in the classroom. All the students will attend simultaneously. The course contents will be followed in an orderly and chronological way. Students will participate with questions, if they deem it appropriate, as well as with the realization of self-assessment exercises proposed by the lecturer. There are some subjects, which are an integral part of the program, that will not be presented in these lectures, but should be studied by the student.

6 hours of problem solving, also performed in the classroom, which will be divided into two groups. In these classes those problems previously proposed to the students will be resolved, particularly those in which the students found specific difficulties. The work in this activity will be fully participatory and interactive.

14 hours of practical laboratory work, distributed in 7 sessions of 2 hours each. During these classes, every student will execute experimental procedures completely, including material preparation, its calculations and the interpretation of results. Such experimental procedures will be provided to the student, together with some questions that he/she must prepare and resolve prior to the realization of the practice. After the practical class, students should present another questionnaire to the lecturer.

20 hours of Supervised work. It consists of the oral presentation of a work prepared and supervised by the teacher. It will be performed in groups of three students. Two sessions for student supervision of about half an hour each are set, and then the oral presentation will be carried out in the laboratory for fifteen minutes, approximately. Finally, a round of questions about the presentation is done, and a final supervised session to collect results and conclusions.

All the material needed to complete the course is provided by the lecturers and will be available in the Reprographics Service of the Faculty, and online in the ADD.
