Teaching Methodologies and Assessment Criteria |
1. Teaching methodology:
The syllabus is presented in two types of classes: theoretical and practical. The students can consult the teachers for individual clarification of doubts and visit the Structural Laboratories to contact with research works.
2. Evaluation criteria:
CEA=0,05×AUL+0,60×TES+0,10×TOR+0,10×PO1+0,15×PO2
CF=CEA if TES>CEX
CF=0,05×AUL+0,60×CEX+0,10×TOR+0,10×PO1+0,15×PO2, if CEX>TES
CF = Final score (0-20)
AUL = Participation in practical classes (0-20)
TES = Written test (0-20)
PO1 = 1st Oral examination (0-20)
PO2 = 2nd Oral examination (0-20)
TOR = Oriented practical exercises (0-20)
