This course will use two main learning activities: problem resolution, that aims to fix and apply theoretical contents and cases where students will present and discuss their proposed solutions. The course material for each topic (slides that will be used in theory sessions and problem sets to be solved in practice sessions) is provided in advance through the intranet in Aula Global 2.
