Teaching method
The course content will be trasmitted according to a lecture method (with slideshow / powerpoint), encouraging interaction, dialogue-oriented and discussion with students in the classroom, stimulating pedagogical action. The lectures will be supplemented with the completion of 5 laboratory clases, thus promoting a strong link between theory and practice.
Evaluation method
Evaluation system in force in the course in 2012/2013:
Tests (relative weights)
- Theory: 50%
- Practical: 50%
Conditions for exemption from exams
- Score of both tests not less than 8 (7.5).
- Average score of tests not less than 10 (9.5).
"Frequencia"
Score equal to or higher than 10 in the final report of the lab classes
It is valid for one year
Final Score
50% Tests average* + 50% report score (Dismissed)
or
50% of exam score* + 50% report score (exams)
(*) - If this score is less than 9.5 then the final score does not come into account with the report of lab classes.
