Teaching Methodologies and Assessment Criteria |
The classes will be theoretical-practical. The teacher presents the concepts and the results and illustrates the theory with examples and applications. The student is encouraged to participate in classes, interacting with the teacher and sometimes solving exercises and problems. Autonomous work, consisting mainly in solving the exercises, is encouraged. The assessment carried out over the teaching-learning period will consist of two written tests.
