Teaching Methodologies and Assessment Criteria |
The theoretical contact hours (2 hours per week) are intended to convey the theoretical knowledge associated with the syllabus of the curricular unit. The theoretical-practical contact hours (1 hour per week) are intended to provide students with practical knowledge, through problem solving and practical exercises. In laboratory classes (1 hour per week), practical laboratory work is developed.
Assess During Semester - 20% Lab.+ 20% Series of Exercíses + {[(30% Test1(>=7.0)+(30% Test.2 (>=7.0))]}
Exams - 20% Lab.+ 20% Series of Exercíses + 60% Exam (>=7.0)}
Minimum grade in each frequency: 7.0.
Minimum grade on average for Laboratory assignments: 7.0, which are mandatory
Minimum score in the average of the series of exercises: 7.0, which are also mandatory
The formula to calculate the final classification aplies to all assessment seasons
