Teaching Methodologies and Assessment Criteria |
Both theoretical and practical teaching activities are sequential, based on support materials. Students are required to attend and participate.
Laboratory classes are dedicated to both explanation and demonstration prior to the works, given in the laboratory guide, and its realization by the students.
Modern information and communication technologies are used, including e-learning.
