Teaching Methodologies and Assessment Criteria |
The assessment of this UC seeks to meet all learning objectives by using different mechanisms:
1) Written test (60%), whose assessed information coincides with that taught in T and TP classes, which includes the recommended bibliography; this assessment domain is worth 50% of the final AP grade;
2) Preparation of a lesson plan (25%), developed in groups (maximum of 5 elements); The lesson plan must be delivered to the teacher on a date to be defined;
3) Assessment of aquatic motor skills (25%), which presupposes completing a swimming distance, fulfilling the technical and regulatory assumptions for swimming; the evaluation will be qualitative in nature.
