Teaching methods
The pedagogical approach is blended teaching, which alternates face-to-face classroom teaching with online distance learning via Microsoft Teams. Teaching methods include flipped classroom and project-based learning:
- Flipped classroom: students study or complete an assignment at home and then meet with teachers and peers in a classroom to ask questions, get extra help or work in groups;
- Project-based learning: students develop a project by combining online learning (e.g. watching tutorials or completing assignments with Tableau) and face-to-face meetings.
Evaluation methods
Continuous assessment without examination in January in two modes: individual and/or group assignments (60% of the final grade) and knowledge tests (40% of the final grade). In September, individual custom assignment due on the first day of the session.
Other information
All relevant information regarding these modalities and the progress of the activities (calendar, detailed instructions, evaluation criteria, etc.) are presented during the first course and are available on Moodle.
Some resources (e.g. bibliographic resources, slides, explanatory videos) are in English.
