Syllabus Information

5.1. Methodological overview

The methodology followed in this course is oriented towards achievement of the learning objectives. It encourages continuous work, understanding, analysis and application of theoretical knowledge to real problems. A wide range of teaching and learning tasks are implemented, such as lectures, practice sessions, problem-solving, laboratory sessions, and assignments.

5.2. Learning tasks

The course includes the following learning tasks:

• Lectures (45 hours). Whole group sessions. Presentation of the main theoretical contents combined with problem-solving tasks. Student participation is encouraged through questions and brief discussions.
• Laboratory sessions (15 hours). Students will work in small groups to practice the contents learned in lectures. They will have task instructions provided at the beginning of the session, which will be accompanied with the necessary teacher's explanations.
• Assessment (3 hours). Assessment tests have a grading function, but they also work as a learning tool to check the student's progress, understanding of the course contents and acquisition of skills.
• Tutorials. Teacher's office hours for students to review and discuss course contents, solve doubts, follow-up of assignments, etc.
• Assignments (34 hours). During the course, students will solve sets of problems and cases, do course work, or practical assignments. 
• Autonomous work and study (53 hours). The continuous work of the student will be encouraged by the evenly distributed tasks throughout the semester.
