Learning activities and methodology

THEORETICAL-PRACTICAL CLASSES. [44 hours with 100% classroom instruction, 1.67 ECTS] Knowledge and concepts students must acquire. Student receive course notes and will have basic reference texts to facilitate following the classes and carrying out follow up work. Students partake in exercises to resolve practical problems and participate in workshops and evaluation tests, all geared towards acquiring the necessary capabilities. TUTORING SESSIONS. [4 hours of tutoring with 100% on-site attendance, 0.15 ECTS] Individualized attendance (individual tutoring) or in-group (group tutoring) for students with a teacher. STUDENT INDIVIDUAL WORK OR GROUP WORK [98 hours with 0 % on-site, 3.72 ECTS] WORKSHOPS AND LABORATORY SESSIONS [8 hours with 100% on site, 0.3 ECTS] FINAL EXAM. [4 hours with 100% on site, 0.15 ECTS] Global assessment of knowledge, skills and capacities acquired throughout the course. METHODOLOGIES THEORY CLASS. Classroom presentations by the teacher with IT and audiovisual support in which the subject's main concepts are developed, while providing material and bibliography to complement student learning. PRACTICAL CLASS. Resolution of practical cases and problem, posed by the teacher, and carried out individually or in a group. TUTORING SESSIONS. Individualized attendance (individual tutoring sessions) or in-group (group tutoring sessions) for students with a teacher as tutor. LABORATORY PRACTICAL SESSIONS. Applied/experimental learning/teaching in workshops and laboratories under the tutor's supervision.

Assessment System

Assessment - REGULAR CALL:
There are two configurations to be assessed in regular call: Continuous Assessment or Single Exam.
To pass the course by any of these routes, it is necessary to obtain a minimum of 5 points.

CONTINUOUS ASSESSMENT:
It consists of five assessment elements (during the teaching period) worth one point each, and an end-of-term (final) examination worth five points.
Those five elements are a theoretical test, a laboratory exam, and three (home) assignments.
The laboratory elements are compulsory, and obtaining less than 20% of the score in any of them (three assignments and one laboratory exam) entails the exclusion of the student from the continuous assessment process.

SINGLE EXAM: it is an exam with a maximum value of 6 points, in which the knowledge, skills and abilities acquired throughout the course will be assessed globally. The date of this exam is the same scheduled for the end-of-term exam.


Assessment - EXTRAORDINARY CALL
It consists of an exam with a maximum value of 10 points, and it is necessary to obtain a minimum of 5 points to pass the subject in this way.

% end-of-term-examination 50
% of continuous assessment (assigments, laboratory, practicals...) 50
