Teaching Methodologies and Assessment Criteria	The teaching methodology established for this UC is based on a theoretical-practical approach. As the concepts, techniques / methods are exposed and explained, students are asked to perform a set of exercises (calculation and interpretation) to consolidate the exposed contents. Subsequently, a set of application forms, by chapter, are made available, and students are asked to resolve them under the guidance of the teachers. The evaluation process will be supported by 3 evaluation tests, to be carried out throughout the semester.
