5. ELEMENTS OF GRAVITY AND MAGNETIC METHOD (1/2 CFU)

EXERCISE SUBJECTS (2CFU)
1. ERT DATA ACQUISTION
2. REFRACTION DATA ACQUISITION
3. DATA INVERSION

	Teaching Methods
	THE COURSE HAS CLASSROOM LESSONS (32H)WITH SLIDES AND FIELD EXERCISES (24H), FOR THE EXPERIMENTAL FIELD ACQUISTION ANALYSIS AND THEIR ANALYSIS AND INTERPRETATION.

	Verification of learning
	THE LEVEL OF ACHIEVEMENT OF THE OBJECTIVES IS CERTIFIED GETTING THROUGH AN ORAL EXAMINATION. THE EXAMINATION CONSISTS IN THE DISCUSSION OF A TECHNICAL REPORT ON THE FIELD EXPERIMENTS. THE ORAL TEST (ABOUT 40MIN) IS FINALIZED TO ASSESS THE LEVEL OF APPLYING KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING REACHED BY THE STUDENT ON THE THEORETICAL AND METHODOLOGICAL CONTENTS INDICATED IN THE PROGRAM AND THE VERIFICATION OF THE ACQUISITION OF APPROPRIATE SKILL AND CRITICAL SENSE ON THE GEOPHYSICAL METHODS. ORAL TEST WILL VERIFY THE COMMUNICATION CAPACITY WITH LANGUAGE PROPERTIES AND AUTONOMOUS ORGANIZATION OF EXPOSURE.
