Teaching Methodologies and Assessment Criteria The theoretical contact time (2 hours per week) aims to exchange theoretical knowledge associated with the curricular unit syllabus. Theoretical-practical contact time (1 hour per week) develops practical knowledge through solving problems and practical exercises. Laboratory classes (1 hour per week in average, with 2 h each fortnight) facilitate to develop practical laboratory works.
