- LECTURES: Weekly sessions of 100 minutes, divided in two 50 minutes parts with a break, where the theoretical concepts are explained. A few days in advance files will be provided in the subject webpage with the following information:
- Main topics to be discussed during the session.
- The presentation that will be used during the session.
- Notes with recommended material were students can supplement the concepts discussed during the lecture.
- RECITATIONS: Weekly sessions of 100 minutes, also divided in two 50 minutes parts with a break, in groups of 40 students where problems and activities proposed after the LECTURES are solved and discussed. This session is focused in helping students to:
- Understand the statements of the problems.
- Identify the physical phenomenon involved in the statements and the physical laws describing them.
- Develop strategies to solve the problems.
- Learn to make a precise use of mathematics.
- Analyze critically the results obtained.
- LABORATORY: Four 100 minutes sessions dedicated to perform and analyze experiments about the physical phenomena studied during the LECTURES and the RECITATIONS. The goal of these sessions is to help students learn to:
- Operate scientific instruments precisely and carefully.
- Acquire scientific experimental data.
- Manage and analyze scientific data.
- Discuss critically experimental results.
- Report the main results of the experiments.
Additionally, every week there will be one hour tutoring session available to students in the subject webpage.
