Teaching method

Reinforced Concrete II has two lectures/solving problems classes each week with 2:30h each

In the lectures classes the subjects are presented and in the problem solving sessions the students solve practical problems with the guidance of the professor.

Evaluation method

The evaluation of knowledge has two components: one done by works and classroom participation of the student during the semester and the other by two tests or final exam.

1. Tests

Written tests  NE = (1stT + 2ndT)/2, grade = 0 to 20 (≥ 7.5).

2. Exam

Written exam NE, grade = 0 to 20 (≥ 7.5).

3. Works and classroom participation

Problem solving sessions Ac(P) and Lectures Ac(T)

   A_c = N_TP x FA ≥ 7.5 valores

          N_TP = 0 a 20 valores

          FA = 0% a 100%

4. Final Grade = 0.8 x NE + 0.2 x Ac

Students with a final grade greater than 16 must do an oral exam.

5. Remarks
In the practical classes Works will be carried out, of which will be chosen randomly some for the continuous evaluation.
The continuous evaluation  Ac will be composed by the classification Works (NTP), by the attendance of the students and by the appreciation of the teacher (FA)

In the Mini-tests of Normal Evaluation Period and in the Exam of the Time of Appeal only the consultation of the Norms, of tables and of a form to be provided by the teachers is allowed.
