Teaching Methodologies and Assessment Criteria |
Teaching at the UC is based on the exposition of the subject by the professor, duly supported by supporting documentation. Then the students, through the realization of laboratories, explore the practical contents. These two moments are evaluated through a written test and the completion of an assignment.
Final classification = 0.8*TP + 0.2*F
TP - Practical assignment
F - written evaluation
Exam evaluation = 0.8*TP + 0.2*Ex
TP - Practical assignment
F - written exam
