Teaching Methodologies and Assessment Criteria |
The semester course is credited with 6 ECTS. The course is structured with theoretical-practice classes – TP (exposition of the subjects of the course and presentation of case studies) and practical classes – PL (application of theoretical concepts to solve practical problems)
- Continuous evaluation: The Learning Classification will be based on a theoretical-practical test.
- The condition of approval by frequency is to have a minimum grade of 10 values on average.
- Final exam (with theoretical and practical part) for admitted students.
