Teaching Methodologies and Assessment Criteria |
Expositive lectures and problem sessions. The presentation of the syllabus’s topics is illustrated with simple demonstration experiments.
The students’ evaluation is based mainly on written tests, with a smaller contribution from an oral component obtained after the assessment of presentations of problem solutions done by the students in problem sessions.
