Textile Fabrics Structure

Teaching Methodologies

6.1 TEACHING METHODS

The methodological options leading to the fulfilment of the curricular unit’s program will focus on the following pedagogical strategy:

– oral presentation oriented to the estimated contents;

– work developed under the teacher guidance.

 

6.2 EVALUATION METHODS

 

Given the specificity of this curricular unit, the student must guarantee a minimum presence in 42 contact hours (classes), with the right to take an exam, in case he/she has not been approved by continuous assessment.

 

 The work to be carried out will comply with criteria that will be explained in the statements and/or other elements presented, according to the following components and weights:

 

CONTINUOUS EVALUATION

– Exercise 1 – 15% weight in the assessment;

– Exercise 2 – 35% weight in the assessment;

– Exercise 3 – 50% weight in the assessment

 

EXAM

– Component Theoretical – practice – 50% of the evaluation

– Component practical –  50% of the evaluation
