Dedication

Laboratory practices to apply the knowledge taught in the course using physical examples, allowing students to understand the different concepts explained. The practices will consist of two sessions of physical practices, which will be conducted in small groups, and two sessions using software that simulates a real laboratory environment, which will be conducted in medium groups. During these sessions, students will be required to complete a series of questionnaires in Atenea to assess the knowledge acquired during the sessions.
