Teaching method
Lectures and problem-solving sessions, lab sessions.
Evaluation method
Theorical assessment: 3 mid-term tests or final exame. Weight of 1st test: 40%. Weight of 2nd test: 30%. Weight of 3rd test: 30%. Final exam has 100% weight in final grade. Minimum theorical assessment grade: 9,5 val. Weight of theorical assessment grade: 70%
Laboratorial assessment (grade >9,5) include 4 lab sessions, oral presentation and discussion of one of the lab sessions. Weight of lab assessment grade: 30%
Final mark: 0,7 theory mark + 0,3 lab mark
