Teaching Methodologies and Assessment Criteria |
Lectures, seminars and research activities, individual/ group paper reading and discussion, laboratory practices, development of projects (Project based learning), project follow up and orientation.
Assessment is continuous and all work must be submitted according to the dates discussed with the students. Students must present a project proposal (scheme) with images, texts, and a clear definition of objectives. The projects will be presented/delivered on the dates stipulated by mutual agreement with the students. The final grade will be based on the development and evolution of the work (process 50%) and on the results and presentation of the work (50%), valuing the aesthetic and technical qualities equally. Failure to present/deliver proposals and/or projects means that the student has withdrawn. Attendance of 75% is required. This UC does not have an exam.
