Teaching method

A team-based learning approach will be followed. Students must prepare for each class and will be called upon to carry out individual and group problem-solving exercises.

Evaluation method

All students will be evaluated by means of an anonymous final written exam (3 hours). During the semester, students will have the opportunity to be continuously evaluated by taking an active part in the classroom. Students will be evaluated for their individual and group performance by the professor and by their peers. The final grade will be: a) the grade obtained in the final exam, for students who do not obtain a continuous evaluation grade; and, for students who do, b) the higher of: (i) the grade obtained in the final exam; and (ii) an average of the final exam and the continuous evaluation grades.
