Teaching method

Teaching Method bases on conferences and problems solving sessions complemented by an individual attending schedule.

Evaluation method

Important:

In order to be evaluated, the student must attend at least 2/3 of the solving sessions.

 

Evaluation Methods:

1-Continuous evaluation

The continuos evaluation consists on three tests during the semester. One of the tests may be improved in the final examination date. The final grade is the average of the grades of the three tests. The student is aproved if the final grade is greater or equal than 9,5.

Each test lasts for 1h 30min. 

2-Final exam evaluation.

The student is aproved if the grade of the final exam is greater or equal than 9,5.

The final exam lasts for 3h.

 

Calculatory devices including mobile phones are not allowed in tests or exams.
