Teaching Methodologies and Assessment Criteria |
The classes will be fundamentally theoretical-practical in nature, combining the exposure of syllabus, with their discussion and application in practical examples. Previously provided notes/slides will be provided for the student to do a preliminary study and in class will be made an exhibition of the main contents.
The more theoretical contents will be presented with the use of practical and concrete examples.
The evaluation of this UC includes the holding two written tests and five mini-tests to be performed on the computer.
