• MetodologiaMethodology

  The course employs a combination of lecture-based instruction, guided inquiry, and active learning strategies to encourage classroom discussion and the resolution of both theoretical and practical exercises. Strong emphasis is placed on hands-on practice through the use of virtual machines for the installation and configuration of operating systems. In addition, the course incorporates problem-based learning (PBL), project-based learning, case-based analysis, and peer-to-peer discussions to promote critical thinking and collaborative learning.
