Practical exercises Didactic methods
- Teaching activity is carried out partly with lessons and practical exercises, and partly via the Moodle platform.
Learning assessment procedures
- The final exam tests the degree of achievement of the training objectives indicated above.
Students are partly evaluated through the evaluation by the teacher of the assigned exercises, and through a final written exam (consisting of five open questions, one for each module) about the topics presented during the lessons.
