Teaching methods

Lectures: expositive method using slides and blackboard.
Practical sessions: Resolution of problems at the classroom or using the e-learning platform
Lab. Classes: Solving problems and codification of the solution.
Continuous Assessment
The on-going evaluation will have the following components: a practical component (a weight of 5% of the final
grade), a laboratory component (15% of the final grade), a final project (first partial delivery as a weight of 10% of
the project final grade; final project delivery: 25% of the project final grade) and a final exam (45% of the final grade).
Unique Evaluation
The assessment will be done by an exam and will have the following components: a final project (a unique delivery scoring 50% of the final grade) and a final exam (50% final grade).
Final grade Computation
Continuous assessment: practical (5%), laboratories (15%), final project (45%) and final exam (35%).
