A more detailed teaching guide can be achieved through the Moodle platform.
Assessment systemsToggle Navigation
1. Written exam on the first 2 topics. 3.5 points out of the total. Midway through the course.
2. Written exam on the last 2 topics. 3.5 points out of the total. At the end of the course.
3. Laboratory practices. 3 points out of the total. Throughout the course.
If the student obtains half of the points assigned to the first exam, the grade will be saved to be added to the rest of the scores. If not, the student must take the second exam, which will then be worth 7 points and will cover all topics. Therefore, the first exam serves to cover part of the syllabus.
The final grade will be the sum of the 3 assessments. The course is passed by achieving a final grade of 5, with a minimum of 3.5 points in the sum of the 2 exam grades.
