Teaching Methodologies and Assessment Criteria |
Two tests will be carried out throughout the course in order to ascertain, by students and teachers, the degree of mastery of the subjects transmitted, 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 degree of mastery of the subject, as well as the mistakes made.
