Students carry out activities in class, according to the content, and focused on learning the fundamental
techniques, rules, and tactical aspects essential for the knowledge of these modalities. Groups are
formed for observation tasks and knowledge is applied at two different times. Students are asked for
assessment. The teacher uses the methodology of circuit work, teaching progressions and individualized
support to students. The moodle platform is used as a complement to teach.
The final classification of the evaluation is calculated by the weighted average of each moment, which are
described in item 27.
When one or more evaluation items is below 7.5, the student will take a suplementary evaluation as long
as the other items carry an average of 9.5 or greater values. (*)
