Teaching method
Theoretical classes take place twice a week with a duration of 1.5 hours. The classes are dedicated to the presentation of theory by the teacher and its application in practical exercises. In addition, practical cases that represent real problems for the application of the theoretical concepts are also used. There is also a weekly practical class with a duration of 80 minutes for practical application of theory presented in theoretical classes. The reports on a practical case serve to make a detailed analysis of practical problems in small groups of students. Sets of exercises serve to give students the opportunity to self-assess their course development.
Evaluation method
The Final Exam is mandatory and must cover all subject matter. The weight of the final exam should be between 30 and 70%.
