Teaching Methodologies

Theoretical/practical classes: use the video projector to share the professor’s computer screen, in order to develop, troubleshoot and fix software (debugging) together with the students. 

Application classes: When teaching theoretical concepts, these will always be applied in laboratories the students will have to go through. The practical classes will be dedicated to work on the laboratories’ exercises and to help the students in any questions or doubts that may arise.
