Teaching Methodologies and Assessment Criteria |
In the theoretical classes, priority will be given to understanding the most important objectives, trying to give a comprehensive idea of ??the themes and their applications. Theoretical classes also aim to provide detailed and systematic information on the most relevant aspects of the subject. In practical classes we will try to approach the subject from the perspective of its practical application and in the analysis and resolution of concrete problems and starting by addressing simple situations which will gradually give way to more complex analyzes. Problems associated with the subjects taught and solutions proposed will be presented. Two tests will be carried out throughout the course in order to verify, by the students, the degree of mastery of the transmitted subjects. The final exam consists of a written test on the totality of the taught material.
