Teaching Methodologies and Assessment Criteria |
The teaching/learning activities take place through tutoring in groups of 20-25 students led by a teacher, who are introduced by participating in a previous seminar. Pedagogical methodologies have an interactive character in which the tutor guides students in the search for relevant information to obtain the results. Whenever appropriate, this approach is complemented, in the period dedicated to students' self-learning, by programmed online activities, using e-content, videoconferences or forums. Quantitative assessment is carried out by multiple choice tests. The qualitative assessment of behaviors and attitudes is carried out throughout the course. Students who do not achieve the objectives are evaluated in a final exam on the contents of the Curricular Unit.
