Methodologies

Methodologies ::

	Description
Laboratory practicals	To apply, at a practical level, the theory of a field of knowledge in a given context. Practical exercises through the different laboratories.
Lecture	Exposition of the contents of the course.

Personalized attention

Lecture

Laboratory practicals

Description

Time that each teacher has reserved for attending and resolving students' doubts.

Assessment

	Description	Qualification
Laboratory practicals	The correct functioning of the practical exercises will be evaluated.	20%-60%
Extended-answer tests	The acquisition of the competences of the subject will be evaluated.	40%-80%

Other comments and second call
The laboratory practices involve the development of simulation software using the Python language. To pass the course it is necessary to obtain at least 5 points out of 10 in each of the parts of evaluation: theory and practices. The final grade will be the weighted average grade of both parts once the 5 points in each one have been passed. For the second call, there will be a development test corresponding to the theoretical part and a test for the practical part. It will also be necessary to obtain at least 5 points out of 10 in each of the parts in order to pass.
