Teaching methodologies and assessment
Teaching methodologies and assessment
The approach to the various topics is done by appealing to the active participation of the students. Students are encouraged to follow various resolution strategies when solving the exercises.
Assessment of the course, expressed on a scale of 0 to 20. Evaluation and requirements:
- Attendance, punctuality and positive participation in class: weight of 10%.
- 2 written tests: weight of 45%
