Learning outcomes |
The main learning goal, for this unit consists, from the student point of view, acquisition of concepts and knowledge from previous years, mainly Wave Optics and Optical Systems and its application to life sciences. In this way, the learning on fundamentals of photonics and its respective applications to medical and biology are relevant. Furthermore, special attention is put on the resolution of worked examples and laboratory work focused on the program. Finally, it is intended that the student must develop basic research capacity and the ability to transmit knowledge by doing bibliographic research and its respective oral presentation focused on a topic of the program.

Teaching Methodologies and Assessment Criteria |
The teaching/learning activities of this curricular unit include theoretical-practical classes and practical laboratory classes. In addition to these, students also carry out activities on the e-content platform as a complement to learning and self-study programming.
Teaching-Learning Classification:
To obtain frequency, each student must:
- have a minimum number of attendances in theoretical-practical classes equal to half of the classes taught and carry out two reports on laboratory work, obtaining the practical component (PR) of the classification;
- complete a set of six quizzes on the Moodle platform (TE);
- carry out research or project work (TP);
- obtain a classification higher than 6.0 in the teaching-learning classification (CEA), obtained through the expression:
CEA = 0.4 TE + 0.2 PR + 0.4 TP
Approval by frequency is subject to the condition CEA>=9.5 values.
Classification by exam:
This U.C. there is no exam.
