Methodologies
Methodologies   ::  
  Description
Problem solving, classroom exercises The problem and exercise classes are oriented to the development of the students' ability to apply the knowledge obtained in the theoretical classes, promote their capacity for analysis, critical reasoning, exchange of information and communication of the results. Exercises will be proposed to be solved by the students during the classes.
Practicals using information and communication technologies (ICTs) in computer rooms The professor will train and guide the students in the application of simulation and visualization tools necessary for the practical resolution of problems, encouraging at all times critical reasoning and the exchange of information between working groups. Exercises will be proposed and students will try to solve them, thus acquiring skills in the use of the necessary tools for problem solving.
Lecture In the theoretical and practical work sessions in the classroom, the professor will introduce, by means of theoretical explanations and illustrative examples, the concepts, results and methods of the subject. Their relation with other branches of Physics, their development and their application to the resolution of concrete problems will be shown. The student will have to prepare the theoretical part with the help of the bibliography and resources indicated by the professor.

Practicals using information and communication technologies (ICTs) in computer rooms
Description
The student can count on the teacher's help to resolve any doubts that may arise throughout the course through individual tutorials. The tutorials are voluntary and will take place preferably through the corresponding forum in the Moodle platform of the course or in person in the office indicated by the teacher within his tutoring schedule, in which case the student must request the teacher in advance and with sufficient time via e-mail.

Other comments and second call
The assessment of the student's knowledge will be carried out as described in detail below:

There will be a written exam at the end of the semester, in each of the calls, which will consist of a clear and reasoned answer to different questions. In this exam the student will have to demonstrate the understanding of the fundamental concepts of the subject and his capacity to apply these concepts to the resolution of problems.

The student will be asked to solve different questions and exercises during any of the theoretical or practical classes throughout the semester. In them the student will have to show his capacity to reason and solve problems, especially by means of computer models and simulation. These exercises must be carried out in the classroom during the corresponding class.

In order to pass the course, it is required to obtain a minimum grade in the final written exam of 5 points out of 10. If the score of the written exam does not reach that minimum grade then the student will not have passed the exam and will obtain a numerical grade equal to the score of that exam.

If the grade of the final written exam is equal or higher than 5 points out of 10, then the student will have passed the course and will have at least a grade of 5 points in the global certification. The overall numerical grade of the call will be higher than 5 points if the weighting by 70% of the grade of the written exam and 30% of the grade of the exercises performed in class results in a score higher than 5.

The grade obtained in the exercises performed during the classes throughout the semester will be maintained and applied with the same criteria in the final evaluation of the second call, but not for subsequent courses.

During the development of the tests and exercises, only the material and aids explicitly permitted by the professor in advance may be used. In particular, during the course of the exams, the possession and use of unauthorized mobile and/or electronic devices is strictly forbidden. The simple possession of such devices, as well as unauthorized notes, books, folders or other materials during the evaluation tests, will result in the immediate withdrawal and expulsion from the exam and the grade of 0 in the subject, transferring the incident to the corresponding Academic Authority to carry out the appropriate regulatory actions provided for in the regulations of the University of León.

Other comments
Previous computer skills is highly recommended. Regular attendance and active participation in the classes is essential. Equally important is the previous preparation of the classes and the study of the subject matter.
