Teaching Methodologies and Assessment Criteria |
EVALUATION SYSTEM CFAEA = weighted average of the following evaluation instruments: 2 compulsory written frequencies, and the failure to carry out one or both of them implies Exam [40%]; 4 individual written reports on research on compulsory reading texts, written every two weeks without consultation, in OT context [35%]; Group research work with public oral presentation: [20%]; Attitude in class / scientific event participation [5%]. FINAL EXAM CLASSIFICATION = average CFEA (40%) + Exam Classification (60%), and in the context of grade improvement (after Frequency with Approval) the highest grade prevails. NB In basis of the presence registration, students with a absenteeism rate of more than 20% (equivalent to 3 absences or more in a total of 15 classes) will not be admitted at Exam, and therefore disapproved (except for the absenteeism rate established only those cases duly typified by law and university regulations, such as student workers, associative leaders, etc.]
