Teaching method
The UC consists of a theoretical component (2h) and a practical component (3h / shift, 2 shifts). In the theoretical classes, the concepts listed in the program are presented with the resource to PowerPoint, videos, educational materials/objects, and debates. In laboratory classes, practical work is carried out, including demonstration of methodologies and the use of various equipment.
Evaluation method
Theoretical component: 2 tests (T1 and T2). The Theoretical Grade (NT) is given by the average of the two tests, 50% each.
NT = 0.5xT1 + 0.5xT2
Practical component: Photo Studio User Manual (MEstFoto) (individual) and practical exercise (proposal to improve the photo studio – PMEstFoto- of the DCR) (in group). The Practical Grade (PL) is given by the average of the MEstFoto and PMEstFoto.
NP = 0.6x MStPhoto + 0.4xPMEstPhoto
Final Grade = 0.4xNT + 0.6xNP
In order to pass the FD UC it is necessary to have a minimum grade of 9.5 in the theoretical and practical components.
