Lectures: This teaching method will be applied to the theoretical class activities.
Laboratory Practices: This method will be applied to practical laboratory classes and can also be applied to problem-based learning sessions, seminars, case studies, and projects.
Project-Based Learning
Independent work
Case Studies

Final Exam: Focused mainly on assessing the understanding of the knowledge exposed in the theory classes. The final exam will be worth for 40% of the final mark for the subject.
Assessment of practical work and continuous monitoring: Applicable to the continuous monitoring of student progress and work in the course, and the results of the training activities "Practical laboratory classes", "Problem-based learning, seminars, case studies and projects". This part will account for 40% of the final grade.
Assessment of tutored work: The assessment of tutored work will be carried out through a defence in which the students explain their proposal and conclusions to the teaching staff, or by means of an oral presentation of the solution in the classroom with a value of 20% of the final mark.

The course comprises:
12 hours of theoretical face-to-face teaching
12 hours of practical face-to-face work in laboratories
51 hours of non-face-to-face personal work by the student in study, completion of projects, and laboratory work, including personalized tutoring sessions which may be in-person.
