Description |
| Introductory activities |
Presentació del curs, objectius, metodologies, temaris i avaluació |
| Laboratory practicals |
Realització de pràctiques al laboratori, així com resolució de problemes pràctics amb ajuda de simuladors i eines TIC. Inclouran les explicacions necessàries per comprendre alguns conceptes o entendre el funcionament d'alguns instruments del laboratori. |
| Personal attention |
L'atenció personalitzada es farà principalment en horari de consultes. L'objectiu es l'aclaració de dubtes concrets que pugui presentar l'alumne durant el curs, així com altres derivats de l'avaluació. |
