Computer Applications

Teaching Methodologies

Classes will be theoretical-practical. An expository methodology will be used for the presentation of theoretical concepts that will be exemplified with concrete situations of reality. The exhibition will be made using “Power Point” presentations. Several sheets will be made available on the contents taught, resolved in classes and other supplementary information for resolution at home.
