Lectures about the syllabus. The number of students in class, being an elective course, is reduced, which allows an almost personalized monitoring of learning. The way in which teaching is planned, in a very interactive way with the student, through class attendance, technical presentations and tutorials, allows to detect possible training gaps, to evaluate the performance of students and to consolidate the most important concepts.

Hours devoted to continuous assessment activities, such as:

PARTIAL EXAMS: Two partial exams on the syllabus. They can be oral.

TECHNICAL PRESENTATIONS: In a so-called "technical presentation", a student studies some content related to the syllabus, previously provided by the professor (such as a technical article, a book chapter, a project, etc.) and presents it in class. In addition, the student answers questions related to the presentation from the professor and the rest of the students. It is carried out during class time and can be part of a more general lecture given by the professor. Tentatively, there will be two technical presentations for each student, one in each half of the term. They will be scheduled sufficiently in advance. Depending on its complexity or length, the content of a technical presentation may be shared by two or more students.

Two partial exams on the course syllabus. The exams can be oral. The first partial exam represents 40% of the overall grade. The second partial exam represents 40% of the overall grade. A minimum grade of 4 points in each partial exam must be achieved to pass the whole course. This activity assesses all the Learning Outcomes.

This activity evaluates the so-called "technical presentations".

All the technical presentations carried out by a student during the whole course correspond to 20 % of the overall grade. The grade is individual for each student. The maximum grade for each presentation (that depends on its quality) is 20% of the overall grade divided by the number of technical presentations made by each student. Tentatively, there will be two technical presentations, one in each half of the term. They will be scheduled sufficiently in advance. This activity evaluates all the learning outcomes.

Final examination on the course syllabus. The exam can be oral. This activity evaluates all the learning outcomes
