Teaching method
Presentation of theoretical contents followed by analysis of real problems and resolution of project cases, in an environment involving professor and students.
Evaluation method
The assessment includes tow tests (T1 and T2) and a final exam (E).
Continuous evaluation rating is obtained by the expression:
CC = (T1 + T2) / 2.
The final classification (CF) is calculated by the expression:
CF = CC se CC >= 9.5 | CF = E se CC < 9.5
