Teaching Methods The course includes 20 hours of frontal teaching, divided into lessons of 2 hours depending on the academic calendar. The frontal teaching consists of theoretical lessons and practical application. During the lessons the main topics of the teaching are explained with examples on the blackboard or on a computer.
Evaluation methods Verification of learning:
The verification of student’s competency consists of a written test with multiple choice answer options related to the entire program with a possible subsequent oral integration at teacher’s discretion. The total points (30) will be divided according to the questions presented in the examination. The total score is given by the sum of correct scores to the individual questions. The duration of the written test is about 60 minutes.
Contacts/More Information Students are expected to receive Tuesday from 14.00 to 16.00.
