Learning activities and methodology
Competences will be acquired by students from:
1. Theory classes: one per week (14 sessions)
2. Practical classes with laptop: one per week (14 sessions)
Former activities will be devoted to exercises, problems, data examples, and case studies. Teaching will make intensive use of the resources available in Aula Global and Aula Vrtual.
