GEOMETRIA A - L
Academic Year 2020/2021 - 1° YearCredit Value: 9
Scientific field: MAT/03 - Geometry
Taught classes: 49 hours
Exercise: 30 hours
Term / Semester: One-year
Learning Objectives
Basic knowledge of linear algebra and geometry
Course Structure
The course is structured in participatory lectures and cooperatives that provide for ongoing checks. It will aim to ensure consistency between the training objectives and the methods used, combining the frontal methodology with the dialogue one but including the possibility of applying knowledge through exercises .
Should the circumstances require online or blended teaching, appropiate modifications to what is hereby stated may be introduced in order to achieve the main objectives of the course
