Evaluation method

The UC includes a theoretical component and a practical component. Theoretical classes are directed so that students, through their active participation, understand each of the topics listed in the learning objectives. In practical classes students focus on experimenting with the concepts exposed in theoretical classes in order to know how to do it. A set of practical works is proposed, where each one will be carried out:

- Presentation of the work

- Tutorial on technologies and tools to be used

- Discussion of the working method to be adopted

- Realization of the work by the students, report preparation and presentation

Evaluation Components: 2 Tests and 2 Practical Works

Evaluation Rules:

1. Theoretical Grade: NT = NTest1 * w1 + NTtest2 * w2 -> (w1=w2=50%)

2. Practical Grade: NP = TPratico1 * p1 + TPratico * p2 -> (p1=60%, P2=40%)

3. Final Grade: NF = NT * 0.5 + NP * 0.5

4. NT >= 9.5; NP >= 9.5

Subject matter

1. INTRODUCTION: Concepts of plan and goal. Concept of supervision.
