Teaching methodologies and assessment
Teaching methodologies and assessment
The methodologies to support the teaching-learning process are centred on the students as well as on the development of their autonomy, whether in terms of acquisition or application of knowledge. Students are often encouraged to complete a set of practical exercises. Additionally, relevance is given to the laboratory component of the classes, as well as to the use of software.
