Teaching Methods
Lectures and practical classes with problems that accompany the theoretical material. Provision of a
series of exercises of gradual difficulty, covering the taught topics to students to practice their
mastery of the subject.
Evaluation by: (i) 2 written frequencies, (ii) final exam, (iii) weekly assignments, (iv) development of a small project.
