Teaching Methodologies
The lectures use expository and inquisitive methods. The syllabus is covered in practical situations and critical thinking and understanding
are encouraged through active participation in class; students solve exercises individually or in groups.
In some classes, which are more tutorial in nature, individual learning skills and teamwork are explored by clarifying doubts and monitoring
the proposed work.
