| Methodologies |
| Description | |
| Introductory activities | The students will be informed about the subject contents, practical sessions distribution, exercises, evaluation of the subject and the bibliografic references. Any doubt in relation with the subject will be discussed and clarified. |
| Lecture | The contents of the subject will be explained dividing them in several chapters with pertinent examples. |
| Problem solving, exercises in the classroom | Several exercises will be offered to the students for practising. Some of them might be discussed in class depending on the questions of the students. |
| Laboratory practicals | A group of five practical sessions will be carried out in the laboratory. Such sessions are directly related to the subjects explained in class. The student will be informed about the session's dynamics. The assistance to the practical sessions are mandatory. |
| Personal attention | If the student needs to discuss personally some issues related with the subject, the teacher will offer such a personalized attention. |
| Personalized attention |
| Description |
| In general, the personalized attention is scheduled as follows: Tuesday, from 11 to 13 h and Wednesday, from 12 to 13.30 h e:mail: xavier.mateos@urv.cat |

| Other comments and second exam session | |||
|
The second call will be evaluated by means of a written exam comprissing all the chapters studied in class during the course as well as the practical sessions. The practical sessions will be taken into account for the evaluation of the students. Work, behaviour and regular assistance. The personal behaviour in class will be an important issue for the evaluation of the student. The assistance might also be crucial in the evaluation of the student. |
