Teaching Methods

Lectures, Exercises, Online guidance, Projected Presentations, E-mail communication, Online Synchronous and Asynchronous Teaching Platform (moodle).

Students Evaluation

Assessment Language: Greek
The final grade of the course is formed by 100% by the grade of the theoretical part.
The grade of the theoretical part is formed by a written final examination.
The written final examination of the theoretical part may include:
Solving problems of application of the acquired knowledge, Short answer questions etc
