Teaching methods and learning activities

The course is organized in theoretical and practical lessons. In the theoretical lessons, bibliography of base for each subject of the program is indicated and in the practical lessons complementary bibliography is also indicated, specifying the pages to consult of the cited books and Journals. This bibliography intends to be only one contribution for a small library of references, destined not only to the immediate preparation of the subject, as for eventual later consultation.
