MethodologyToggle Navigation
Using the lecture methodology, the theoretical sessions will be presented in the master sessions, following the basic references contained in the Bibliography and the mandatory material. These lectures will be complemented with problem-solving classes in the practical classroom. These will be proposed to the students to solve questions in which the knowledge acquired in the theoretical classes is applied. Finally, in the seminar sessions, students will take a more active role and develop issues and representative examples of the content of the subject.
Assessment systemsToggle Navigation
A final written examination will be taken on the subject taught in class on the date set in the official examination calendar of the Faculty corresponding to the regular May-June evaluation. This exam will be on the second of the dates assigned in the May-June calendar for the course. This examination will evaluate the level of acquisition of all the skills associated with the subject.
In addition, in order for students to be able to measure their progress in learning the subject, two partial exams are scheduled to take place in the official exam period in January and May-June, respectively. Both partial exams will be written. The first of the partial exams will cover the content explained in the first term of the course (weeks 1-15). The second partial exam will evaluate the acquisition of the competences associated to the content explained during the second term (weeks 16-30) and will take place on the first of the dates assigned to the course in the official May-June exam calendar. Students who pass one of the two partial exams or both partial exams will not have to take the exam on the content they have passed in the final exam of the ordinary evaluation.
CONTINUOUS EVALUATION:
PERCENTAGES OF THE MARKS
Written exam: 80%-100%
Oral exhibitions: 0%-5%
Submitted exercises and problems: 0%-15%
To apply the mentioned percentages the minimum mark in the written exam would be 4 over 10.
NON-CONTINUOUS EVALUATION: Final written exam 100%
