Teaching Methodologies and Assessment Criteria
Teaching/Learning Assessment
- 45% of the final grade is given based on the quality of the presentations made in the theoretical classes.
- 45% of the final grade is given based on the quality of the practical work developed.
- 10% of the final grade is given based on class participation.
- The classes of the last week (2026-05-28) are dedicated to the presentation of the work carried out throughout the semester by each group.
- The student obtains approval for the course unit, being exempt from the exam, if they obtain a grade equal to or higher than 9.5.

Assessment by Examination
- The grade for the 45% of the theoretical part can be increased by examination.

Eligibility Requirements for Attendance and Examination
