Teaching Methodologies and Assessment Criteria |
The teaching-learning methodology is centred on the student, who, throughout the semester, acquires and applies the concepts, with their autonomous work. In this way, particular importance is given to the periodic assessment, which allows the student, throughout the semester, to demonstrate in stages the skills acquired through his/her work. To this end, it is planned to carry out two tests and four minitests.
