Teaching Methodologies and Assessment Criteria |
Two tests will be held throughout the course with the aim of inquiring, on the part of students and teachers, the degree of mastery of the subjects taught, as well as their creative use. From these tests that will be considered for evaluation, the student will be able to gather information about the level of mastery of the subject, as well as the errors made. Each of these tests will be rated for 18 points. Practical work is worth two points in the final attendance grade and must be completed by the date of the second test. After the second test, students will be informed of their grade (second test grade plus 4 points). The frequency score is the average of the two scores.
