Teaching Methodologies
TEACHING METHODOLOGIES:
Lectures and group work.
Up to a limit of 25% classes can be teached on-line.
ASSESSMENT:
THEORETICAL-PRACTICAL – 70%
Group work – 45%;
Written assessment by frequency – 55%, the grade must be at least 9.5.
LABORATORY PRACTICE – 30%
– Continuous assessment with weighting of attendance;
– Final practical evaluation – minimum score of 9 points;
FINAL NOTE OF THE CURRICULAR UNIT:
The final grade will be the weighted average of the grades obtained in each assessment provided that the minimum grade is reached in the assessment by frequency and in the practical assessment.
If the final grade is less than 9.5, the student will be subjected to a written and practical exam.
Learning Results
