Teaching method
Oral theoretical lectures.
Practical lessons in the lab with practical group work and individual research.
Evaluation method
This course adopts the continuous evaluation method.
Frequency is obtained with the presence and participation at a minimum of 2/3 of the practical classes.
The practical component of the course is assessed by a set of practical assignments (TPI1 - 10%+TPI2 - 20%+TPI3 - 30%). Students who fail to deliver the practical assignments will automatically be rejected for lack of attendance.
The theoretical component is evaluated through two tests (TT1 - 15%+TT2 - 15%+ QA - 10%).
Students approved and with frequency in the practical component of the course, but who aren’t approved in the theoretical evaluation have access to a written exam.
