Decomposition methods
There will be theory classes to introduce the fundamental theoretical concepts, classes of problems to exercirtar to use, and laboratory classes where you will see the actual technology
Evaluation methodology
Along the course several programming assignments will be evaluated. The last one will be bigger and will count 40% of the grade. The rest will count between 5% and 20% depending on their difficulty.
