Competencies evaluated: CB4.
Seminars and work (10% of the final grade) will consist of the oral presentation of a group work on topics proposed by the teachers responsible for the matter.
Competencies evaluated: CB2, CB3, CB4, CE42, CE44, CG5, CG6, CT1, CT7.
The evaluation of the lab notebook (10% of the final grade) will consist of the evaluation of the lab notebook that students must turn in group after completion of the practices of the subject.
Attendance at practices is mandatory to pass the course (ME3).
Competencies evaluated: CB3, CB5, CG5, CG6, CE42, CE50, CE44, CE52.
The final exam (70% of the final grade) will consist of short questions and / or multiple choice type test. The mistakes of test questions not deducted points. The student must obtain more than 40% of the maximum possible score for this test score for that score is taken into account in the final grade for the course.
