1) STUDENTS CURSING THE SUBJECT FOR THE FIRST TIME:
[EC] Continuous monitoring of attendance and active participation (10%)
The student will have questionnaires that they will have to carry out in the virtual classroom, as well as practical activities for the application of the acquired knowledge, obtaining a grade out of a maximum of 10 points.
SKILLS: CE1, CE3, CE5, CE6, CT7, CT8, CT9, CB7, CB10, CG2, CG4
[EX] Periodic tests and/or final test (60%)
The exam will consist of theoretical and practical questions scoring a total of 10 points.
SKILLS: CE1, CE3, CE5, CE6
[PR] Realization of practical works and tutored works (30%)
The student must deliver the practical activities that are being carried out, scoring with a total of 10 points. In the case of a practical trip, attendance will be mandatory. The evaluation of this activity will be computed under this heading.
SKILLS: CT7, CT8, CT9, CE1, CE3, CE5, CE6
2) STUDENTS WHO DID NOT PASS THE COURSE IN PREVIOUS YEARS:
You will be evaluated with the same criteria as the students enrolled for the first time.
ADITIONAL INFORMATION:
- The evaluation of the first and second opportunities will be carried out using the same criteria.
- In cases of fraudulent completion of exercises or tests, the provisions of the Regulations for the evaluation of academic performance of students and the review of qualifications will apply.
The study times established in this course are:
- Theoretical lectures: 20 hours
- Interactive classes (practicals/seminars): 22 hours
- Gupal tutorial: 3 hours
- Personal study, reading and finishing homework: 100 hours
