Teaching Methodologies and Assessment Criteria |
Theoretical-practical classes involving a combination of lectures by the teacher with their respective application by the students. The teacher presents the subject and students are welcome to make relevant contributions or ask any questions they may have. Whenever possible, the second part of the class is dedicated to the practical application of the subject (through group work, quizzes, brainstorming sessions, and other practical exercises), with students developing their work under the guidance of the teacher.
Normal assessment regime:
- Test: 50% (10 points)
- Submission of group work: 30% (6 points)
- Group work presentation: 10% (2 points)
- Participation in practical activities in class: 10% (2 points)
Alternative assessment regime (students with overlapping classes and working students):
- Test: 50% (10 points)
- Individual work: 50% (10 points)
- Students are admitted to the exam with a minimum grade of 6 points.
