Will be used:
- Explanatory classes in large groups: face-to-face classes given by the teacher in which the fundamental theoretical contents of the subject are exposed. Basic problems of their application are raised and carried out.
There are also complementary activities that the student must carry out: study of additional contents of theory not included in explanatory classes, individual accomplishment of numerical problems and other individual activities or in group.
- Interactive classes in limited group: theoretical - practical face-to face class in which they propose questions and doubts are solved and applications of the theory, problems, exercises and so on. The student takes part actively in these classes of different ways: delivery of exercises to the professor (some of the proposed ones in bulletins of problems that the professor delivers to the students with the sufficient anticipation); resolution of exercises in the classroom, meetings of cooperative learning, etc. The assistance to these interactive classes in limited group will be obligatory.
- Face-to face, tutorships of blackboard in very limited group. The professor schedules the tutorships. They propose activities as the explanation of doubts on theory, problems, exercises, readings, or other proposed tasks.
- Practical classes of laboratory: there are included here the classes that take place in a laboratory of practices. In them the student acquires the own skills of the work in a laboratory and consolidates the knowledge acquired in the classes of theory. The student will must come to every session of practices and, after the accomplishment of the experiences and calculations necessary for the attainment of the aims of the same ones, will gather in the laboratory diary the development of the practice and the calculations and results that proceed, presenting these for his evaluation.
The overall rating in the 1st call for the course, will be the one resulting from to sum the one obtained in the examination of theory and problems more the one corresponding to the continuous assessment and the one obtained in laboratory works. If the student has not completed and passed the laboratory practices, they will not be able to pass the subject.
The theory exam will consist of several sections of applied questions. The problems exam has two problems with different sections. The maximum rating in theory and problems will be 8 points, corresponding 5.5 points to the note of theory and the 2.5 remaining points to the note of problems. A special requirement to pass the course is to obtain a note equal to or more than 2 points in theory and equal to or more than 1 points in problems. Both exams will be face-to -face.
The maximum rating of continuous assessment is 1.5 points and will be established considering: the active involvement of the student in the interactive lessons, proposed activity performance, assistance to tutorships, notes corresponding to written proofs that on specific sections you can carry out, etc. In order to be able to access the rating corresponding to the continuous assessment, is necessary prerequisite the assistance to interactive lessons.
Repeaters students who wish to do so, may maintain the qualification of the continuous assessment corresponding to the previous course without having to attend interactive classes, being indispensable requirement having signed, at the beginning of the semester, a proof of this commitment with the professor in charge of the subject.
At the end of the practices there will be an exam, whose maximum qualification will be 0,4 points, note to which will be added, a maximum of 0,1 points corresponding to the evaluation of practices book. The students who repeat the subject will not have to realize them again, if they do not want. Nevertheless, 0,5 maximum points of the examination, only will be included in the global note of the year of the accomplishment and after these 0,5 points will join to the percentage assigned to the continuous assessment.
In the 2nd call for the academic course, just will be made the examination of theory and problems, keeping the rating corresponding to practices and the obtained in continuous assessment during the course. The same proportions earlier remarked and the same prerequisites to pass the course will be applied.
The skills acquired in the course will be assessed through the following channels:
Exam: Con 11, Con 12 y Con 25; H/D 10; Comp 1 y Comp 10.
Interactive classes:Con 11, Con 12, Con 25 y Con 31; H/D 6 y H/D 10; Comp 01, Comp 07, Comp 10, Comp 11, Comp 14, Comp 18 y Comp 25.
Laboratory practices: Con 11, Con 12 y Con 31; H/D6, H/D 8 y H/D 10; Comp 01, Comp 10, Comp 11, Comp 18 y Comp 25.

Revision and putting in the day of mathematics (infinitesimal calculation and analytical geometry), physics (mechanics, electricity, systems of units) and general chemistry.
Regular dedication to the study of the subject (short periods daily newspapers or every two days, better than weekly).
To avoid to introduce in a chapter without reaching a certain degree of understanding of the previous one.
To dedicate a special effort to the comprehension of the meaning or nature of some theoretical strategic contents, as well as to the general methods of resolution of the problems.
The virtual platform of the USC will be in use as support and complement of the theoretical - practical teaching and as an important element of communication with the student.
