The only teaching methodology appropriate for a subject in the context of a phased-out program (without the right to teach) is individual tutoring. These tutoring sessions are aimed at resolving specific theoretical, conceptual, and/or practical questions and difficulties, providing individualized attention to the student who needs it. Tutoring sessions require a prior appointment and will primarily be in-person, although they may be partially conducted virtually using the MS-Teams tool.
The detailed program, basic and complementary bibliography, and teaching materials for the final course with the right to teach (2024/2025) will be made available to students in the Virtual Classroom for the subject.
Exam at the end of the semester: 70% of the grade
Previously completed continuous assessment activities: 30%
Exam: 70% of the grade
Minimum exam grade for continuous assessment: 3 (out of 10)
In cases of fraudulent completion of exercises or tests, the regulations for the evaluation of students' academic performance and the review of grades will apply.
This subject is only eligible for examination.
