Teaching method

Lectures and pratical sessions with exercises.

Evaluation method

Continuous Assessment System (only 1st season):
 Final grade is calculate by the following formula: 3 intermediate Tests  (T1, T2, T3) during the semester (minimum grade in each test: 7,5 points)
Final Grade: 30%T1+40%T2+30%T3 
 
Exam system (only 2nd season)
Final Exam (100%) (minimum grade: 9,5 points)
