Workshop
Description
The accounting problems proposed to be solved in the classroom are designed to help students in understanding the accounting concepts and in becoming familiar with the accounting technique. With this aim, students will be guided by the teacher, so that they can solve, on their own, the proposed cases.

Group tutorials (4 hours distributed along the term) will be used to discuss those complex cases that requiere a higher degree of personal attention. For these tutorials, the group will be split into two small groups (15 students, aprox.). If possible, group tutorials will be held either in the previous or the posterior time slot in which students have their classes.

Part-time students with academic permission not to attend the classes will have to contact the teacher by the tenth day of the term, in order to receive an individual tutorial schedule.
