Teaching method
This curricular unit is extremely important for the curricular units of the following semester and for the 2nd cycle of studies. For a better learning, theoretical classes, in addition to the rigorous lecturing of the concepts, should comprise an interactive component, including many illustrations based on examples or simple experiments of demonstration. - The use of PowerPoint presentations and computational simulations may turn the topics much more active. - The resolution of problems, outside classes or in classes, to be corrected by the teacher, or midterm tests will help students to better follow the curricular unit’s syllabus, self-assess their own learning and contribute to their final mark.
