Teaching Methodologies
Description of contents; analysis and discussion of concepts and demonstration / exemplification of techniques with simulated practice among students.
Availability for care or marking of students in the office or gym to clarify doubts or clarification of concepts and technical implementation.
Review by frequency: students are assessed by performing two tests, written and theoretical practice. The success in the course is obtained by the weighted average (40/60) of the marks obtained in these tests. Note lower than 9.5 in any of the tests mentioned, requires the achievement of a final exam.
Review for final exam: the same format as the evidence often during times designated for (normal, feature and special) effect. The success in the course is obtained in this test with a result greater than or equal to 9.5 in each of the tests mentioned
The ratings are on a scale of 0 to 20
