Teaching method

The curricular unit is taught in problem-solving classes, with a weekly load of 2 hours.
For each subject, the main concepts, methodologies and / or models are firstly exposed, using examples and multimedia teaching material. Then we propose exercises and case studies whose resolution requires the application of what was previously exposed.

The course assessment is carried out by 2 Tests (T1 and T2), with a weight of 50% each, or 1 Final Exam (FE).
Final Grade= 0.50 T1 + 0.50 T2 or
