Teaching Methodologies

The methodology adopted in class includes four different stages for each topic. In the first stage, students are given a summary of recent
developments, followed by a theoretical presentation of the current situation and methodologies, opting for the expository and inquisitive
method. In the 3rd phase, the students are shown how to apply the knowledge they have learned through the presentation of solved
examples, reports of real situations and the resolution of exercises. In the last phase, students work on practical technical-scientific
interpretation and research in groups, encouraging teamwork. Some tutorial classes are dedicated to clarifying doubts and monitoring the
progress of the work.
Assessment: there are two components of equal value. The first, of a continuous nature, includes practical work. The second is an exam.
The final grade is the result of the sum of the two parts, neither of which can have a mark lower than 30% of the total.
