Teaching Methodologies and Assessment Criteria |
During the teaching-learning assessment period, the written attendance test is worth 40% of the grade and focuses on theoretical-practical subjects. It consists of two parts of equal weight: the first is carried out without consultation or calculator; the second allows the use of a calculator and consultation on paper. The individual assignment is worth 10% of the teaching-learning grade, it is mandatory and consists of a conceptual sketch of the airplane individually designed to meet the regulation of the Challenge/competition of the discipline. The group work consists of the design, construction and testing of an R/C model aircraft with the objective of maximizing a performance function defined in the regulation of the Challenge/competition of the discipline, worth 50%.
