Teaching Methodologies and Assessment Criteria |
This curricular unit is based on the typology of theoretical-practical classes in which theoretical and expository hours are supported by multimedia means, bibliographic content and case studies that serve as a basis to encourage debate on the themes of UC.
The practical dimension of the curricular unit is developed through practical exercises that promote the incorporation of theoretical contents and their experimentation. This will be carried out in conjunction with UC Design Industrial 4.
Evaluation is continuous, promoting student involvement in the evolution of the academic semester. It has a dimension for demonstrated participation and motivation (20%), another for the theoretical component through a frequency or theoretical work (40%), and the practical dimension that includes an exercise / project (40%), carried out in partnership with the UC of Industrial Design 4.
