Methodology
• Theory and problems (80%):
– Concepts are explained in theory session, based on practical
examples.
– For each unit, an assignment is proposed: 1-2 exercises + short
questions.
– Attendance is highly recommended.
• Laboratory (20%):
– Concepts explained in theory classess are applied in laboratory.
– Pre-lab study for each laboratory session is mandatory.
– Attending to all laboratory sessions is mandatory.

Assessment
• Continuous assessment
– Based on the assignments and class and laboratory work.
• Final exams
– Students not following the continuous assessment or
those want to increase their grade.
– Two parts:
• Theory and problem solving
• Laboratory
