Teaching methods
Lessons are held on the board with regard to the theoretical part.
The exercises that are offered to students are set during the first hour of lessons and performed with the computer in the remaining hours.
Teaching tools
During the lessons are proposed exercises to do with the computer and presented in a notebook examination, which will be oral with a discussion on the work done.
