Teaching based on lectures and practical classes. The lectures are, in essence, for expository sessions, which serve to introduce the fundamental concepts associated with each of the topics. The practical classes are based on the analysis, modeling and planning organizations and implementation of theoretical concepts.
Teaching Methods
• Expository and interrogative teaching:lectures and discussions.
• Declarative:tutorials tools
• Active and participative:case studies, participation in project teams and practical use of theoretical concepts of Information Systems
