Teaching methods and learning activities

Theoretical lessons will be presented in Power-point. Slides will be provided to the students in advance.

TP lessons: resolution of problems featuring the topics of the theoretical lessons.

Students shoud participate actively in the lessons. Therefore, the teacher will exemplify the resolution of the exercises and then the students will resolve the remaining exercises by themselves, in place and in the blackboard, beeing evaluated for their performance.

There may be some homework to do for the next lessons, students will be evaluated in this item too.

Calculation formula of final grade

Realization of 3 tests, 30 % of final mark, no minimum grade.

Final exam, 70 %, ≥ 9,5
   

The final mark is determined as follows:

Final Mark = (F1+F2+F3) * 0,3 + NE * 0,7

To be approved FM must be ≥ 9,5.
