Teaching Methodologies
Expository and interactive classes using audiovisual and interactive means, using audiovisual means allow the acquisition of knowledge. The practical matrix will be carried out experimentally, using techniques and working methods that guide the implementation of ergonomic principles, namely through simulation of work contexts.
Assessment methodology in accordance with current assessment regulations.
Continuous assessment includes an assessment test for each of the matrices of the curricular unit in which students must obtain a minimum score of 9.5 in all matrices:
(TP) Written evaluation – 60%
(P) Practical assessment – 40%
