  Description
Introductory activities Presentation of the course.
Scientific and/or communication events Dissemination events. Invited lecture. Course-dependent topic.
Reading written documents and graphs Slides of the course available in the Virtual Campus. Collection of scientific publications. Chapters of books in the basic references. This activity must be carried out in advance and it is mandatory in order to make the most of other parts of the course: webinar, homework problems, webconference.
The documents will be classified in topics and subtopics.
Webinairs Online Seminar, in moodle. It will be evaluated with a test in the Virtual Campus.
Problem solving, exercises Collection of homework problems, dealing with different aspects of the provided documents and/or the invited lecture.
Assignments Individual or group assignment on the topics proposed by the professors of the course. A report of the results must be submitted in the Virtual Campus.
videoconferencing Live or pre-recorded lectures by the professors of the course. The final part of every session will be devoted to allow questions from remote students.
Personal attention The students are encouraged to send their questions and comments, in reference to any part of the course or its grading.

Personalized attention
Description

On-campus meetings during office hours (appointment is required), by videoconference (appointment is required), forum messages in the Campus Virtual, and e-mail.

Other comments and second exam session

- In order to allow averaging of the grades, there is a minimum qualification of 3.5/10 requirement of the on-campus exam and 3.5/10 of the weighted average grade of all other activities subject to evaluation (quiz, homework and assignments).

- The second call will only concern the grade of the on-campus test and the assignments. Both the quiz and the homework problems can not be graded twice.

- Use of mobile devices (cell phones, tablets, smart watches, etc.) during the on-campus exam is absolutely forbidden.
