Teaching methodologies and assessment
Teaching methodologies and assessment
Theoretical-practical classes (where experiential learning is applied, with problem solving and group work). The b-learning system is used, based on the moodle platform, where support materials are available for each of the classes (slides and support texts)
Continuous evaluation:
To carry out continuous assessment, students must complete 1 individual test and a group work with the final product, a power point presentation on one of the topics covered in class. The final grade: (test)* 0.4 + (group work)* 0.6
All evaluation moments must be equal to or greater than 7.5 and the final grade must be equal to or greater than 9.5. Assessment by exam: in accordance with the regulations.
