Teaching Methods
The initial sessions of each topic are theoretical, organized with the help of presentations (slides), where students will be encouraged to actively participate in the discussion of the topics. This is followed by theoretical-practical sessions, where the presentation of concepts continues complemented with practical demonstration exercises.
Assessment
The laboratory sessions will count towards the practical assessment (50%). In the final session, a written exam will be carried out (50% of the assessment grade) and the results discussed. Thus the final grade will be 50% theoretical + 50% practical (NF=0.5T+0.5P).
