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+0,10×TOR+0,10×PO1+0,15×PO2+0,60×TES
CF=CEA if TES>CEX
CF=0,05×AUL+0,10×TOR+0,10×PO1+0,15×PO2+0,60×CEX, if CEX>TES
CF = Final grade (0-20). (Approval if CF>=10 points)
CEA = Classification of teaching and learning (0-20)
CEX = Classification of exam (0-20)
AUL = Classification of participation in the practical lectures (0-20)
TOR = Classification of individual homework (0-20)
PO1 = Classification of oral exam 1 (0-20)
PO2 = Classification of oral exam 2 (0-20)
TES = Classification of the written test (0-20)
