Teaching Methodologies and Assessment Criteria |
The course unit comprises theoretical and practical laboratory classes. The teaching and learning methodology is student-centered. In theoretical classes, the teache presents the course content and presents examples and real-life events for discussion, encouraging reflection.
Practical laboratory classes will take place in knitting workshop and knitting CAD, where students will operate various equipment/machines and perform various experimental projects in knitting. characterization.
At the end of each experimental project, students must prepare a written report applying the knowledge acquired and scientifically discussing the results. Assessment comprises a written exam (80% of the final grade) and a practical project (20% of the final grade). Students with a score of 7 points are eligible to take the exam
