Description |
Guest lecture / keynote speech |
Keynote speech complemented with the use of audiovisual media and the introduction of some questions to students, in order to transmit knowledge and facilitate learning.
The order of the topics covered will not have to be the one described in the teaching guide. In addition, there will be topics that can be seen together on the development of others, and the division between them may not be strict. |
Problem solving |
Solving exercises and specific problems in the classroom, from the knowledge explained. |
Supervised projects |
Performing a bulletin individual character problems, similar to those solved in the classroom exercises. |
Objective test |
It consists in carrying out an objective test of approximately 3 hours, in which the acquired knowledge will be evaluated. |

Assessment comments |
As part of the "Supervised projects" may include aspects such as attendance, personal work, proposed personal work, attitude, etc., to help to pass the subject.
The "Objective test" will be divided into a theoretical and practical part. The grade obtained by the student with the "Supervised projects" will be weighted with the mark obtained in the practical part of the "Objective test"
It is necessary to exceed 50% of the score in the theoretical part of the "Objective test" to approve, as well as having made and approved the work proposed in the "Supervised projects".
