Métodos de ensino e atividades de aprendizagem

In the theoretical classes a participatory-expository teaching methodology will be employed, as well as the debate within the group of students. In the laboratory classes students will be asked to perform an experiment of which they will have to write a report. Those classes will also have a period for discussion of the experiment with the students at the end.

In 2019/2020, the teaching methodologies were through Zoom, due to the pandemic COVID-19, with a brief exposition of the subject and resolution of exercise sheets. Four laboratory classes were taught.
