Description |
| Activitats Introductòries |
General presentation of the course, organization, evaluation, etc. |
| Sessió Magistral |
Theoretical presentation of the contents of the course in the classroom throughout the second semester, distributed in 2 hours per week. |
| Presentacions / exposicions |
Students will prepare a PowerPoint presentation on a recent relevant publication about a topic of the course. The 20-minute presentation should present the topic (10-15 minutes) and encourage discussion among students (5-10 minutes). |
| Pràctiques a laboratoris |
Guided practices are mandatory. They will last 4 hours, which will be divided into 2 hours in the technical services of the URV and two hours in the laboratories of the NEPHOS group. The concepts / topics included in the contents of the course will be applied at a practical level. |
| Seminaris |
Two experts will be invited to present and discuss topics related the course. |
| Atenció personalitzada |
Doubts and questions |
|
Description |
|
Queries and communication via Moodle. Attention to the student in the teacher's office, by appointment via e-mail. |
