Teaching Methodologies and Assessment Criteria Teaching in this UC will be structured in classroom classes: theoretical and theoretical-practical. In the theoretical classes, which will be taught with the help of audiovisual media, the presentation of the material will be carried out and the discussion of the themes developed according to the program will be promoted. In theoretical-practical classes, knowledge is applied through problem solving.
Conducting a group seminar on certification of quality management systems, solving a real case.
The assessment will tend to be continuous, taking into account two parameters: written tests and group work (max. Two students)
