Teaching Methodologies and Assessment Criteria |
Teaching methodologies used: lectures with presentation of teacher and students and laboratory classes coordinated with the material taught in lectures, guided by professor and performed by students compiling their reports.
Classification during the period of teaching and learning (CEA) is determined by the following expression:
CEA = 80% TE + 20% PL
where, TE corresponds to the classification obtained in the written test, PL to the classification obtained in the practical laboratory component (practical works).
Examination waived if CEA = 10 values.
The final grade, if obtained by examination, is determined by the following expression:
CF = 80% E + 20% PL
where E corresponds to the classification obtained in the theoretical test, PL to the classification obtained in the practical component during the teaching and learning period.
Attendance: 75% TP classes and 100% PL classes
