Methodology

Although the theoretical part of the course is important for the basic concepts to be correctly acquired, the course is largely practical. In the sessions the teacher will explain the theoretical knowledge of each topic. The students will need to resolve the corresponding case studies. They should spend a few hours each week studying for this course in order to consolidate the knowledge acquired in the different topics.
