• MetodologiaMethodology

  The course unit employs a face-to-face teaching model and a continuous assessment regime, utilizing both expository and active pedagogical approaches to acquaint students with a variety of tools and working methods. The presentation of the syllabus will be carried out through the use of audiovisual and PowerPoint presentations. Students develop projects and practical exercises during classes, under the continuous guidance of the instructor. For support with projects and exercises, additional information will be made available to students on the Moodle platform.
