| Lecturing |
Participatory masterclasses.
In these sessions, the faculty will explain in detail the basic theoretical contents of the course, exposing clarifying examples that help to better understand the concepts.
Computer presentations and the blackboard will be used, especially to transmit information like definitions, charts, algorithms, etc. When it is possible, a copy of the slides will be given to the students in advance, focusing the effort of the lecturers and the students on the exhibition and understanding of the concepts. Anyway, the reproductions in paper of the slides should not be considered like substitutes of the texts, but like complementary material.

| Practices through ICT |
Small participatory master sessions.
Sometimes, it will be necessary to explain in the laboratory practical concepts giving useful advices for the best advantage of the practical classes.
Supervised laboratory practices.
The didactic method to be followed in the teaching of the practical classes consists in that the lecturer supervises the work and progress done by the different groups. The practices of laboratory are headed to strengthen the theoretical concepts tackled in the sessions in the classroom (with the master sessions as well as with the design of the project). |
| Project based learning |
Project-based learning.
As the course progresses, it will be proposed a project to be done in group (preferably of two people) that will last several weeks. We will use the educational methodology of project-based learning. The solution of the project will demand the contribution of the knowledge acquired by each member of the group, guaranteeing the positive interdependence that is required for the success of the collaborative work. On the other hand, the project will be evaluated guaranteeing the individual work and the positive interdependence, this is, all the members of the group must have worked and contributed to the final product and have to know all the aspects of the project.
It will be provided material and bibliography, and it will exist the possibility of a public presentation of the project. |
| Seminars |
An intensive course (15 hours long) is organized for those students who have failed the subject at first call, prior to the exam in second call. Group tutoring with the lecturer. |
