Teaching method

Theoretical classes consists of an oral explanation which is illustrated by examples.

Practical classes consists on the resolution of exercises. Students have access to copies of the proposed exercises. Some of the exercises are solved in class, the remaining are left to the students as part of their learning process.

Evaluation method

Students must attend, at least, all problem-solving sessions, with the possible exception of three. The evaluation consists of three mid-term tests, or of a final exam. The three tests can replace the final exam, in case of approval. More detailed rules are available in the Portuguese version.
