Flipped classroom: With this methodology the student has to prepare before the sessions the materials planned for each session. Therefore, the student will have in class a better grasp of the content of the course and at the same time will have more time to solve cases and exercises in class with the support of the teacher.
Each class will start with a short quiz on the topics covered in the materials. The teacher will then discuss with the class specific and more complex topics and all the questions the students might have. The second part of the class is dedicated to solving problems both with excel or hand calculators.
