Teaching Methodologies and Assessment Criteria |
At the theoretical classes the course contents are presented through classic methodologies, which can be done by videoconference. The laboratory classrooms are devoted to the conduct of tests and computer model simulations. All need documentation is previously available on Moodle platform.
All students who have missed a maximum of 6 hours of T+TP classes and obtained positive grade in the practical component are allowed to do the exam.
Exemption from the final exam is subject to obtaining an assessment of 2.5 points out of 5 in the practical laboratory component and 6 points out of 15 in the written test and a positive final classification. The continuous evaluation grade is assigned according to: NFreq = 0.75xNT +0.25xNP, and must be positive (not less than 10 out of 20).
Exam final grade is achieved in a similar way to attendance by replacing the written attendance test with the written exam test.
