Teaching Methodologies and Assessment Criteria Being a laboratory course, students are intended to experiment with computational techniques to achieve the objectives. Classes will be essentially computational practice guided by the instructor.

Evaluation method:
- List of Problems to be solved after classes (60%);
- One individual written assessment (40%);
Language Portuguese. Tutorial support is available in English.
