Teaching method

Theoretical part: Concept explanation lectures followed by examples and discussion.

Laboratorial component: For each experiment: Introduction to the planned work, tutorial on the technologies / tools to be used, discussion of the method of work, development of the experiments by the students supervised by a teaching assistant; elaboration of a report.

Evaluation method

The evaluation is made through the realization of 3 lab developments followed by a discussion. For each work a minimum grade of 9.5 is required.
