Teaching methods

The methodology of this course will follow the criteria established by the Superior European Education Space (SEES), which objective is that the students learn to learning. The course will rely in two main tasks, namely one consisting of preparing questions and answers based on the specific content taught in the course, and the other on the realization of a Technical Report (group activity) that will be presented to the class at the end of the course. Besides of that, the attendance to the lectures and the participation in workshops will be promoted. The students will be also requested to set up a "blog" where to daily post a summary and an assessement of what they have learned in each lecture.

Assessment

Evaluation type

The subject is avaluated in exam period

The evaluation and grading of the students following this course will be done according with the following rules:

1. Attendance to the lectures, and participation in the Workshops: 20% of the grade.
2. Technical Report (elaboration and presentation): 40% of the grade.
3. Instead of a final exam, the students will be required to elaborate four sets (one set per chapter) of 2 or 3 questions (and their answers) that could be appropriate for an exam of the course (i.e., not extremely easy or too difficult questions, but fitting with the level reached in the course): 40% of the grade.

Generic competences weight in the evaluation specific part

Basics bibliography

The course will not rely in any basic bibliography , but in a set of research papers addressing topics of the different Sections of the programe of the course , which will be yearly updated .
