Teaching Methodologies and Assessment Criteria Theoretical classes: presentation of program content using the expository method.
Practical classes: analysis and discussion of practical cases, resolution of exercises/work.

Final theoretical assessment (ATF): Test/Exam - 35% of the final grade
Distributed assessment (ATD): 7 theoretical-practical exercises - 20% of the final grade
- The distributed classification results from the arithmetic mean of the classifications obtained in the 7 theoretical-practical exercises.
Final practical assessment (APF): Final project/work - 45% of the final grade

Each assessment element is worth 20 points, with a minimum score of 7 points.

Final Score (CF) = 0.35*ATF + 0.2*ATD + 0.45*APF

Approval in the UC requires a final grade (CF) equal to or greater than 10 points.
