Teaching Methodologies and Assessment Criteria |
1. Teaching methodology:
The syllabus is presented in two types of lectures: theoretical and practical. Students can consult teachers for individual questions and visit the Structures Laboratories for contacting with research works.
2. Evaluation criteria:
CF = 0.30 × TES1 + 0.3 × TES2 + 0.40 × TOR
CF = Final score (0-20)
TES1 = Theoretical written test (0-20)
TES2 = Practical written test (0-20)
TOR = Oriented practical design work (0-20)
