Teaching method
Oral theoretical lectures.
Practical lessons in the lab with practical group work and individual research.
Evaluation method
This course adopts the continuous evaluation method.
Frequency is obtained with the presence and participation at a minimum of 2/3 of the practical classes.
The practical component of the course is assessed by a set of practical assignments (TPI - 10%+TPA - 30%+TPU - 30%). Students who fail to deliver TPA and TPU will automatically be rejected for lack of attendance. The practical assignments (TPA and TPU) will be executed in person, but can be complemented outside the practical classes.
The theoretical component is evaluated through two tests (TT1 - 15%+TT2 - 15%). The tests will be performed in person.
Students approved and with frequency in the practical component of the course, but who aren’t approved in the theoretical evaluation have access to a written exam.
Students who are not aproved in the practical component automatically fail.
