Teaching Methodologies and Assessment Criteria |
Assessment type: Continuous ETP practical work (4 points) Practical works 1 and 2. Knowledge Assessment Test during the TAC semester (16 points) Composed of the following partials: Theoretical part (PT= 9 values) Practical Part (PP= 7 values) Assessment dates: Work 1: March 31 Work 2: April 28 Written Assessments: Theory test: May 20th (during theory class time) Practical test: May 26/27 (during practical laboratory shifts) Teaching-learning classification (CEA) / weighting coefficients: The teaching-learning classification (CEA) is obtained by CEA= ETP+TAC, with the result rounded to the nearest whole number. To be granted attendance, the student must: Have attendance equal to or greater than 80% in each of the types of classes in the Curricular Unit, which corresponds to 10 theoretical classes and 10 practical laboratory classes. Deliver practical work within the defined deadline. Minimum CEA rating of 6 val
