• MetodologiaMethodology

  Classes will take place in a room prepared with software and computer equipment. Classes will be taught in a context based on practical projects, with constant demonstrations. The evaluation is continuous and consists of solving exercises proposed throughout the classes resulting in an final weighted average valuation with a total value of ten points. At the end of the course students will take a final practical test with a weight of eight points. The remaining two points are intended to assess student participation in the classroom. Students who are not successful will be able to take the exams during the assessment periods defined by the institution.
