Teaching Methodologies and Assessment Criteria The assessment includes: It will be decided to take 2 frequencies, as this is the 1st cycle of studies of a course that must provide very solid theoretical bases that facilitate the predictable continuation of studies (2nd cycle of studies leading to the Master's degree). Periodic assessment grade = (1st Frequency*50%) +(2nd Frequency*50%) Approved (*) when (AP) = 9.5 values (*) Final Classification = classification (AP) Admitted (**) to the exam when 6 = (AP) =9.4 values (**) Final Classification = Arithmetic Average = (AP + Exam) / 2
