Master classes to facilitate the learning of the basic concepts of the contents, that can be found in the bibliography.
Classes of problems to solve exercises and problems related to the subject exposed in the master classes.
Tutorials to solve the specific doubts that arise in the individual study of the subject and in the learning of the specific competences of the subject as well as in the transversal skills.
Annotation: Within the schedule set by the centre or degree programme, 15 minutes of one class will be reserved for students to evaluate their lecturers and their courses or modules through questionnaires.

a) Scheduled evaluation process and activities
Individual written examinations, on questions of theory and problems, about 45 min. of duration, they will be after chapters 1, 2, 3, 4-5, 6-7 (maximum 10 points).
The score of each of the five tests will be: test 1 (1 point); test 2 (1.5 points); test 3 (1.5 points); test 4-5 (3 points), and test 6-7 (3 points).
If due to exceptional causes and duly justified with documents, someone can not attend a scheduled activity, it can be done on the day of the recovery exam. The documents, which justify the absence in the test, must be submitted as soon as possible.
A paper to submit, chosen from a list (maximum 1 point).
All scores will be added, P, without any minimum grade requirement. To succeed, you must have a score equal to or greater than 5.
If P is smaller or equal to 9, the final grade will be P; if P is greater than 9, the final grade will be P- (P-9) / 2.
The student's grade will be the weighted average of the three previous activities, where the theory exam will account for 30% of the grade, the problem exam 40% and the defense of the short oral presentation 10%.
If the final grade does not reach the score of 5, the student has another opportunity to pass the subject through the remedial exam that will be held on the date set by the degree coordinator. The grade obtained in this exam will be the final grade for the subject.
