Teaching method
Classes are structured in order to combine a theoretical component with a participatory component on the part of the students. Given the scarcity of time for the full exposition of the subject, students are invited to respond to "challenges" (consisting in solving practical cases) outside the classroom, in addition to participating in sessions of application of the most important topics of the subject.
Evaluation method
Continuous assessment and final examination. Assessment by final examination allows a uniform level of demand to be maintained, proving adequate in the context of the School and of this training offer in particular.
