Learning activities and methodology
Theoretical lessons and practical exercises were conducted in the classroom. (1.5 ECTS) Two partials test will be made which will form part of the continuous assessment note. (1.5 ECTS) There will be a practice in the laboratory. (0.5 ECTS) Simulation practice using software tool. The tool will be presented to the students and will solve some exercises in class. A compulsory simulation exercise that will be part of the continuous assessment note will be raised. (1.5 ECTS) Two mid-term exams. (0.5 ECTS) There will be tutoring online and face-to-face weekly. (0.5 ECTS)
