Two teaching activities are proposed: lectures and practical sessions. LECTURES AND EXAMPLES (2 ECTS) Lectures will be delivered using the blackboard, with slides or by any other means to illustrate the concepts to be learnt. In these classes the explanation will be completed with examples. In these sessions the student will acquire the basic concepts of the course. It is important to highlight that these classes require the initiative and the personal and group involvement of the students (there will be concepts that the student himself should develop). PRACTICAL SESSIONS (1 ECTS) The practical classes will solve practical cases as well as laboratory sessions in which real and synthetic data sets will be analysed. Basic concepts learnt during the course are applied in the laboratory and by means of simulation. The student should participate actively the exercise implementation; the level of the student involvement in this work grows from the first exercise to the last one where the student will be encouraged to propose and solve the problem.
