Teaching Methodologies and Assessment Criteria |
UC develops in theoretical and theoretical-practical classes. In theoretical classes the different topics of the subject with film support are exposed. In theoretical-practical classes are presented exercises and examples of application and laboratory demonstrations are made. The evaluation is performed through 1 test in 2 modules (T+TP), and also by elaborating an article on a tribology topic.
