Teaching method

The teaching methodology is based on lectures, occasionally supported (when appropriate) with references to practical
situations in which students will be asked to participate. Classes will be taught using relevant papers and specific bibliography,
and will require additional research related to the subjects addressed.

Evaluation method

The course evaluation considers the grades given to the written test, to be held at the end of the semester (100% of total
assessment).
Both learning and assessment can be assisted with e-learning tools available (moodle). Additional elements can be made
available to students and they may submit some of the requested works through those tools.
