Face-to-face lectures by the teacher on the topics of every chapter. Examples or use cases of every chapter will be given. Some concepts will be completed with some talks. Students will attend lab lessons, conducting their experiments, and will do their own homework to elaborate contents.

This subject requires face-to-face assistance of all students at the University of Santiago de Composteal to carry out part of their laboratory practices.

Final exam- 40%
Homework and lab hand-outs- 60%

The final exam is a written exam hold face to face at every university with teacher and room provided by the coordinator at every university.

This subject comprises 36 face-to-face lectures.

Face-to-face time with the teacher: classroom lectures, lab lectures and exam
Classroom lectures- 18 hours
Lab lectures- 20 hours
Exam- 4 hours
Overall- 42 hours

Students time
Classroom study time- 55 hours
Homework and lab student time- 65 hours
