Learning activities and methodology

THEORETICAL PRACTICAL CLASSES. Knowledge and concepts students must acquire. Receive course notes and will have basic reference texts. Students partake in exercises to resolve practical problems. TUTORING SESSIONS. Individualized attendance (individual tutoring) or in-group (group tutoring) for students with a teacher. Subjects with 6 credits have 4 hours of tutoring/ 100% on- site attendance. STUDENT INDIVIDUAL WORK OR GROUP WORK. Subjects with 6 credits have 98 hours/0% on-site. WORKSHOPS AND LABORATORY SESSIONS. Subjects with 3 credits have 4 hours with 100% on-site instruction. Subjects with 6 credits have 8 hours/100% on-site instruction.

Assessment System

- Continuous assessment: 100%.
o First midterm exam (30%, if passed the content will be removed for the final exam).
o Second midterm exam (30%, if passed the content will be removed for the final exam)   
o Lab exercises: 40%.

- Final exam:
o 0%: if the student follows the continuous assessment, this exam will be taken only with the part(s) not passed in the midterm(s).
o 100%: if the student has not followed the continuous assessment, he/she will take the final exam with all the content (including content of the lab sessions) and the final mark will be worth 60% of the mark obtained.

- Extraordinary exam: 100% with all the content (including content of the lab sessions).

% end-of-term-examination 0
% of continuous assessment (assigments, laboratory, practicals...) 100
