Teaching method
Basic concepts will be introduced in lectures ("aulas teóricas") and problems will be solved in problem solving classes ("Aulas práticas").
Evaluation method
There will be two test during the term and a final exam.
The students are required to subscribe to each test/exam, at the CLIP.
