Teaching method
The teaching methods are based on the combination of more theoretical modules where the fundamental principles and concepts are introduced and where the students are given the generic guide of the subjects, with moments of more applied character where the students develop their skills. Research and self-study are strongly encouraged.
Evaluation method
The evaluation consists of the result obtained through the arithmetic average of the results of two evaluation tests performed during the semester.
