Teaching methods

Each class will present few topics from a theme. Each topic is explained on the white board and a practical example is solved by the treacher. After that, one or two exercises are solved by all the students. Ocassionally, students will solve the exercises for the rest of the class on the white board.

Exam schedules

Exam is 9th December 2019 from 12:00 to 14:00 in ICT Building, auditorio Lambda
