Teaching Methodologies and Assessment Criteria |
Teaching methodologies:
Alongside with the study of theoretical subjects, emphasis is given to the study of real cases, study tours and lectures given by members of companies using or producing IS/IT, as well as the use of software tools for training and testing of practical cases.
Evaluation:
Theoretical part (T) and practical part (P)
T = 6 points - test or exams
P (4 practical works, TP1=2 , TP2=3 , TP3=3 , TP4=6) = 14 points: works with report and
presentation / discussion in lecture.
Final grade: F = TE + P
