Bibliography
Teaching method
The theoretical classes aim to provide the student with the theoretical background for each topic.
The practical classes aim to apply the concepts and methodologies learned in the theoretical classes.
Evaluation method
The final grade depends on the project grade (PG) throughout the semester and the final exam (FE) (first and second season).
FG = max{0.4PG + 0.6FE; FE}
The formula above implies the following: if the final exam grade is higher than the project grade, the final grade is given exclusively by the final exam grade. If not, the final grade is given by the formula 0.4PG + 0.6FE.
