Teaching Methodologies and Assessment Criteria |
The assessment of knowledge and skills acquired by students during the teaching-learning process is done by means of three tests (T1, T2 and T3, rated from 0 to 20) with weights of 0.2, 0.35 and 0.45 respectively.
The final teaching-learning classification (CEA,,expressed in 0 to 20 values) is calculated as follows
CEA=0.2T1 + 0.35T2 + 0.45T3.
Final exam exemption is granted when the CEA is equal to or higher than 9.5 points, requiring a minimum score of 1 point in each test and an
attendance of more than 80% of the classes. The grade of ``FREQUENCY'' is awarded.when CEA is less than 9,5 points.
Grades above 18 points are defended with an oral exam.
Assessment dates: T1- 20/03/2025; T2 - 30/04/2025; T3 - 06/06/2025
