Teaching methods

Auditorium lecture illustrated by multimedia presentations ending with a written exam. Laboratory classes held in groups of two, consecutively on 5 experimental stations (6 mandatory exercises). Completion and passing of consecutive exercises on the basis of written reports evaluated by class instructors. Final block grade calculated according to the algorithm 60% of the exam grade + 40% of the laboratory grade.
