| Description | |
| Introductory activities | Introductory lecture |
| Lecture | There will be master sessions introducing the concepts. It will be necessary to make use of the material provided. More information in the subject guide that you will find on the Virtual Campus. |
| Laboratory practicals | Practices are done in groups of three people. During the practice, the teaching staff will take note of your attendance and the completion of the tasks. As a result of the practices, each group will prepare a report of practices. For more details, consult the subject guide that you will find on the Virtual Campus. |
| Personal attention | Through usual means |

Each professor of the subject will inform you of the mechanisms he has established to attend to queries. You will find the instructions in the professor's profile on the Virtual Campus, or in the staff details on the DEIM website. We promise to answer your emails within a maximum of 48 hours, on working days. However, we encourage you to use the Virtual Campus doubts forum to raise your questions: maybe someone has already raised the doubt before and someone else has solved it! |
