Teaching Methodologies and Assessment Criteria |
This curricular unit lasts one semester, involving 60h of contact with the teacher, 70h of autonomous work and 10h for evaluation (total: 140h). Approval on the curricular unit gives the student 5 ECTS credits. The contact hours are organized as follows: - 15h of theoretical classes (T), where the theoretical program content are exposed. - 45h of laboratory practical classes (PL), where the programmatic contents are applied through supervised works. Students also perform a practical application with high degree of autonomous work using all acquired skills during the semester
