Teaching methods

Lectures given by the professor, but also by other experts, who may come from other universities. This broadens the range of expertise presented to the students.

Assessment method

Oral presentation with a ppt of a subject which was not discussed during the lecture, in relation to scientific articles, and in the presence of all the other students. Questions in relation to the course and the presentation will be asked.
