Teaching Methodology
The subject consists of 3.0 hours per week of classroom lessons in the classroom. They are devoted to theoretical classes, 25.5 hours, in which the teacher exposes the concepts and basic materials of the subject, presents examples and carries out exercises. 9.0 hours are spent solving problems and practical excercises with a greater interaction with the students to consolidate the general and specific learning objectives. The rest of the weekly hours is dedicated to laboratory practices and a field visit. Support material is shared through the ATENEA virtual campus: contents, programming of assessment activities and directed learning and bibliography. Although most of the sessions will be given in the language indicated, sessions supported by other occasional guest experts may be held in other languages.
Grading Rules
The evaluation calendar and grading rules will be approved before the start of the course.
The subject's mark is obtained from the continuous assessment grades (exam and course practice) and the one corresponding to the computer laboratory activity. The continuous assessment consists of doing different activities, both individual and group, of acomplementary and formative nature, carried out during the course (inside and outside the classroom). Final grade = 0.6 * Final exam + 0.05 Course practice grade + 0.35 Modelling practice
Test Rules
Failure to perform a continuous assessment activity in the scheduled period will result in a mark of zero in that activity.
