Teaching Methodologies and Assessment Criteria |
Active and cooperative teaching-learning methodologies were adapted that encourage reflection and value processes of a cognitive and interpersonal nature, defending the acquisition of concepts, problem solving, research, and practical work carried out in classes, centered on student and face-to-face.
The final grade at the end of the Teaching-Learning period is calculated as follows:
30% Attendance test +20% Exercises in class + 40% research work + 10% Participation and commitment
The student will be exempted from the Exam, if the final grade of teaching-learning period is greater than or equal to 10 values - Approved.
Exam Grade: 60% of the score obtained during the teaching-learning period + 40% of the exam evaluation.
