Teaching Methodologies

6.1 The methodological options will focus on three fundamental pedagogical components: oral exposition focused on the expected contents; study and presentation of works/productions; development of works under teacher guidance.

Continuous assessment values the student’s attendance and participation in 10% of the final grade and implies the accomplishment of 3 theoretical-practical works that will have the following weights: 1st assignment – 45%; 2nd work – 30%; 3rd work – 15%.
The exam will have a theoretical component, with a weight of 40%, and a practical component, with a weight of 60%.
