Learning activities and methodology
THEORETICAL PRACTICAL CLASSES. Knowledge and concepts students must acquire. Students will receive course notes and will have basic reference texts. Students partake in exercises to resolve practical problems. TUTORING SESSIONS. Individualized attendance (individual tutoring) or in-group (group tutoring) for students with a teacher. There will be 4 hours of tutoring/ 100% on- site attendance. STUDENT INDIVIDUAL WORK OR GROUP WORK. Students will dedicate 98 hours/0% on-site of individual work. WORKSHOPS AND LABORATORY SESSIONS. There will be 8 hours/100% on-site instruction.
Assessment System
