Teaching Methodologies and Assessment Criteria |
Assessment prioritises continuous evaluation as a monitoring tool. It includes individual tests (50%), which assess theoretical and theoretical-practical understanding, and individual/group assignments (50%), which evaluate the ability to apply concepts in practical contexts. This approach allows students to progressively demonstrate the competences acquired and, if they achieve the defined objectives, they may be exempted from the final exam. The exam, when required, ensures verification of the minimum competences demanded.
