Teaching Methodologies
Teaching methodologies integrate: description of contents; analysis and discussion of concepts and demonstration / explanation of the techniques with simulated practice among students.
The process of continuous evaluation: Students are assessed through the completion of a theoretical and practical test, a practical test, and the performance and presentation of work. The success in the course is obtained by the weighted average (40/30/30) of the classifications obtained in these tests. Note lower than 9.5 in any of the tests mentioned, requires the achievement of a final exam.
Assessment for final exam will consist of a written test, with identical structure to the frequency which will also include theoretical and practical issues and will be held during times designated for the effect. The approval for the course is obtained with an equal or higher than 10 result.
