Teaching method
Theoretical-practical and laboratory classes (in-person).
Evaluation method
Two tests and a laboratory evaluation form:
Test 1 - ...
Laboratory evaluation form - ...
Test 2 - ...
Final grades higher than 16 require an oral exam. Failure to attend the oral examination determines that the final grade is 16/20.
Mandatory presence in 2/3 of classes is required.
