Teaching Methods
The teaching is structured by means of lectures, problem-solving and laboratory classes.
Assessment: The theoretical assessment (75%) can be done continuously involving several tests or through a final exam. There is also the possibility to carry out an exam at the time of appeal. The practical evaluation (25%) focuses on the proposed laboratory modules.
Final grade = 0.70 * T + 0.3 * PL
