Teaching method
The teaching method in theoretical-practical classes is essentially the oral presentation of the subjects, accompanied by drawings, diagrams, videos and notes/summaries made by the teacher on the board. Projection media and technology demonstrations in class are also used. The teacher presents real cases and discusses the resolution strategy with the students.
In addition, several exercises are proposed to students, in order to apply the knowledge acquired, designing, printing and testing pieces that correspond to the requests given in the exercises.
Finally, the Project serves to focus students'''' knowledge on a problem defined by them, with full support from the teacher.
