Teaching method
The curricular unit is taught in theoretical-practical classes, with a load of 3 hours/week. During the classes, different activities are developed.
An active and dynamic didactic-pedagogic approach is used to motivate the students to learn the Industrial Engineering areas and activities.
Evaluation method
The assessment is of the Project type, consisting of the realisation of a project, and its assessment is made up as follows:
Final mark = 0.45 * [(∑Ai) / i] + 0.20 *T + 0.20*R + 0.15*Ap
where:
- Ai - performance grade for activity i. The grade for activity i will be calculated as follows
Ai = 0.2*MT + 0.8*( R×CI) where:
MT - individual mini-test
R - success in achieving the proposed results
CI - individual contribution to the execution of the activity. The Evaluation Scale will be determined on the basis of the following rationale: the points must be distributed in their entirety, using only integer values and using the following logic per working group:
- Presence of 5 elements: distribute 47 points;
- Presence of 4 members: distribute 38 points;
- Presence of 3 members: distribute 29 points.
- T - Test grade
- R - Report grade. The grade will be calculated as follows:
R= Grade*Cti
Cti=individual contribution to the report (consider 0 to 100 per cent for each group member)
- Ap - Presentation grade. The grade will be calculated as follows:
Ap= Grade*Cti
Cti=individual contribution to the presentation (consider 0 to 100 per cent for each member of the group)
The grade for each of the assessment components is rounded to the nearest tenth.
Frequency, valid for 1 year, depends on the student''s presence at the Seminar (in 14 May).
There will be no recourse exam.
Approval is given if the final mark is equal to or greater than 9.5.
