Teaching methodologies and assessment

The teaching methodology will be based on the oral presentation with the aid of audiovisual support and computer
equipment.
The assessment will be expressed in a scale from 0 to 20 based on the analysis of material evidence (written and oral
tests, research assignments, portfolios or others) of each student¿s commitment and performance. The specific
identification of the mentioned material evidence, as well as the respective criteria of elaboration and classification will
be explained to the students by the lecturer in charge in the first class of the curricular unit.
