Teaching method

Theoretical classes. Practical classes with laboratory work, and a final design / implementation project.

Evaluation method

1st test: 30% in the final grade

Summative (questions in moodle) in three moments (10% in the final grade)

2nd test 30% in the final grade; minimum grade on this evaluation 9.5 values

Group work; 30% in the final grade; evaluation based on implementation, report and discussion of work; minimum grade in this evaluation 9.5 values.

 

Exam can be performed as an alternative to the tests, having a weight in the final grade of 60% (according to evaluation regulation), keeping the minimum grade of 9.5.

Theoretical part performed in the previous two years is equivalent to the exam.

Practical part - group work in the previous two years is equivalent to group work.

Summative part performed in the previous two years is equivalent to summative part.

The scores for the various parts are given with two decimal places and the result is calculated on the basis of the weighted average according to the indicated weights.
