En les classes de teoria (T), el professor presenta els fonaments teòrics bàsics de cada tema i resol alguns problemes. Els estudiants aprofundeixen en la teoria durant el seu temps d’estudi personal utilitzant els recursos indicats pel professor (llibres, vídeos i altres materials complementaris).

En les classes de problemes (P) i en les sessions de laboratori (L), els estudiants exposen les solucions als problemes que se’ls han assignat prèviament. El professor intervé durant les explicacions per corregir errors o proposar millores. A més, pren notes sobre les presentacions dels estudiants per tenir-les en compte en l’avaluació final de l’assignatura. En les sessions de laboratori, els estudiants resolen problemes davant de l’ordinador que són avaluats automàticament.

Tots els avisos es faran a través del racó.
