Teaching method
One 3-hour long lesson is weekly planned, where differentiated emphases will be kept in the exposition of syllabus and its discussion, complemented by the completion of small projects with increasing complexity, allowing consolidating the subjects.
Evaluation method
The evaluation is guaranteed through 1 individual work, supported by one poster and oral presentation (40%), and conducting two mini-projects in groups of 2 students (practice) (each 30%).
Each component is graded with two decimal positions.
