Teaching Methodologies and Assessment Criteria |
Teaching methodologies consist of two main components: Theoretical-Practical (TP) sessions and Tutorial Orientation (OT) sessions, which are designed to support student learning and progress.
Evaluation will occur through two Frequency Tests: the first test will account for 45% of the final grade, and the second will also contribute 45%. The remaining 10% will be based on the completion of assigned tasks, active participation, and relevant oral contributions. Students must maintain at least 70% attendance, as having more than five absences may result in failing the course. This evaluation will adhere to the global observation method direct (OGD).
