Series of exercises will be proposed with the aim of consolidating knowledge and stimulating problem-solving skills. The evaluation of the discipline, expressed on a scale from 0 to 20 points, will be made at different times, including 2 midterms (40% + 50%) and individual work to be developed outside the classroom (10%). If the weighted average of these evaluations is equal to or greater than 9.5, the student will be successful in the subject, otherwise the student will be able to attend a global frequency. In the final exam, the student can improve the grade. The minimum passing grade for these assessments is also 9.5. Assessment criteria are explained at the beginning of the semester.
