MethodologyToggle Navigation
The subject is developed through master classes and practical classes. The practices are carried out in groups of four people, which are constituted according to affinity groups and are the same for all group practices. There are also small practices that can be individual.
In addition, at least two exams will be held, which are carried out throughout the course, and which contribute 50% to the final grade. Internships contribute 40% and individual internships 10%. At least one of the exams may be face-to-face. However, if the situation so requires, the examination will be carried out via egela.
This evaluation system will be applied both face-to-face and non-face-to-face, if the situation so requires.
Assessment systemsToggle Navigation
Evaluation is continuous, through questionnaires and practices.
The multiple-choice questionnaires can be carried out through eGela or in person, if the situation allows it.
The internships are of different types, and while they aim to reinforce the theoretical aspects, they aim to promote the capacity for analysis and calculation.
In any case, to take the face-to-face written exam, you can use only handwriting resources (pen, pen...), including eraser and highlighter. No other recourse is permitted.
The use of mobile phones, calculators or subject notes is expressly prohibited (but this list is not exhaustive) and must remain out of the student's reach throughout the test.
The contribution to the final grade is 5 (Exams) and 5 (Practical).
On final evaluation:
In accordance with article 8.3 of the Regulations Governing Student Assessment, students who wish to abandon continuous assessment and adhere to the final test must submit in writing to the teaching staff responsible for the subject the waiver of continuous assessment within the first nine weeks from the beginning of the semester.
The final evaluation will consist of a multiple-choice exam of about 50 questions and at least two practical tests. The exam will contribute to 70% of the grade and practice to the remaining 30%.
In accordance with article 12.2 of the Regulations Governing Student Assessment, students may withdraw from the call within a period of one month before the end date of the teaching period. The resignation must be submitted in writing to the teaching staff responsible for the subject.
In the case of students taking the final exam, it will be sufficient not to appear for the test set on the official date of the assessment tests
