The contents are presented in theoretical classes, primarily using slide projections. Student participation is encouraged through questions that lead them to reflect on the different topics covered and create opportunities for clarifying doubts. In Theoretical-Practical (TP) classes, application problems are solved, allowing students to engage with practical issues and critically analyse the results obtained. Some class time in TP classes is used for research work, using scientific bibliographic sources, with a view to preparing group work reports.
