TEACHING METHODS - In-class presentations by the professor with the support of audiovisual and computer-based resources, covering the main concepts of the subject and providing bibliography to complement students' learning. - Development of assignments, quiz and/or reports by teams or individually. - Specific e-learning activities, linked to the semi-presential nature of the program, including the viewing of recorded content, self-correction activities, participation in forums, and any other online teaching mechanism. - This subject primarily involves theoretical content; hence, there are no formative activities related to the development of practical work and/or laboratories. Intensive use of e-learning methodologies will be made for content presentation and students' practice. To achieve this, lectures with theoretical content will be recorded (or some papers or book chapters) and made available for offline viewing by students. Some content may be acquired by students through individual study supported by tutoring, as well as through other e-learning activities. The specific content received through these mechanisms will be determined at the discretion of the professor, with an approximate 50% distribution between in-person and e-learning components.
