Teaching method

Lectures (3hs/week, online), exercise class (1hs in person - 1st time students only; 1hs onle - all students). Homework.

Evaluation method

Presence in class of optional.

Two tests (T1 and T2); it is required minimum grade of 7 in the second test.

If T2=9.5, then MF=9; otherwise MF=(T1+T2)/2.

The final grade consist in the rounding of MF to the nearest integer (n.5 is rounded to n+1).

For students that to not obtain approval in tests ("continuous evaluation") it is possible to do a final exam ("recurso").
