Teaching method

 

In lectures we will present and explained the concepts in an interactive and proactive way. In theoretical classes practical topics and problems will be discussed requiring the use of knowledge learned in the lectures. In practical classes, laboratory experiments will be conducted directly related to the topics taught and discussed and criticized the achieved results. Evaluation components Two tests that deal with the knowledge of both theorical and practical concepts of the course or an exam. Solving problems in theoretical  practical classes. Performance and discussion of the experimental results achieved during the practice sessions.

 

Evaluation method

It is required to obtain the frequency to the chair, which requires the achievement of three practical laboratory work and participation in 7 theoretical-practical sessions.

Ongoing assessment involves performing two tests, the exercises of theoretical-practical classes and laboratory work. The two tests may be replaced by a final exam, in appropriate cases, but the other portions of the assessment will stand.
The final evaluation results from the application of the following calculation formula:
average of two test  scores (or final exam score) 0.7 * x + score from the theoretical practice sessions x 0.15 + score from the practice sessions x 0.15 = final score (should be greater than or equal to 9.5 for approval for the course)
* = The average grade obtained in the two tests or the final exam will have to be compulsorily equal to or greater than 9.5.
Note: Students have purchased in previous years frequency component theoretical-practical and laboratory replaced by the recorded score, it will have a weight of 0.3 in the final formule.
The maximum allowed absences is stipulated by law.
