Teaching methods

Lectures. Exercises with the help of an assistant.

Assessment methods and criteria

Three tests will be carried during the semester. The exercises to be solved are based on the theory developed till that point of the course. Students who passed all written tests have two options: accept the average note of the tests or try to improve this note by oral exam.
Those who will skip one or more written test(s) or will not get a sufficient average note have to pass the oral exam.
Those who overcame with good notes the three tests but wish the "lode" (honor) have to face an oral examitation.
