There is a detailed program available with the teaching material that expands and updates this information. It is published according to calender, academics available and laboratory and informatics available.
Learning activities and methodology
Teaching activities - Theory conferences. Masterclasses. 1.3 ECTS. - Quizzes and application exercises for comprehension of theory. 1.2 ECTS - Practice in computer halls. And if there are resources, laboratory practice. 0.2 ECTS. - Individual or group work. 0.3 ECTS, proposed by the professor on the topics developed in the classroom. Homework delivered as a report. Teaching methodologies - Masterclasses/lectures where the knowledge to be acquired by the student will be exposed. There will be class notes available and basic textbooks will be recommended both for following the subject and to continue knowledge downstream. - Problem and question solving by the students for self-evaluation and to acquire the abilities required. Exposure and discussion of solving problems that are proposed to the students or proposed by them. - Laboratory practicals, if available, and/or in computer halls, where the student can experiment with the concepts and results of the theory presented in the lectures.
