Teaching Methodologies and Assessment Criteria |
This course unit lasts for one academic semester, comprising 60 contact hours with the lecturer, including 45 hours of theoretical-practical classes and 15 hours of guidance. The classes will follow a Problem-Based Solving (PBS) learning approach.
Assessment consists of one individual written exam (50%), one group practical assignment (40%), and individual practical exercises carried out during classes (10%). The students must obtain a final classification greater or equal to 9,5. All the components present in the evaluation criteria must be completed, and each one of these must pass more than 6 points in order for students to be admitted to the exam. Grade improvement can only be achieved by taking a final exam. The delivery and oral presentation of the practical work is mandatory.
