Teaching Methodologies and Assessment Criteria |
The course consists of theoretical-practical classes that present the subject matter while allowing students to apply what they have learned and clarify any doubts.
Assignments covering the course syllabus are proposed, and classes encourage interaction between the professor and students by addressing questions in real time as they arise during practical work.
Students are assessed in each class through continuous evaluation based on the completion of in-class exercises. Additionally, they complete two individual projects during the semester and a group project, which they present and defend at the end of the semester.
The course evaluation consists of three components:
Individual practical assignments – 2.5 points each;
Group project – 8 points;
Continuous assessment – 2 points.
