Description |
Problem solving |
Theoretical / practical class in which the teacher propose and students solve applications of theory, problems and applied questions. It may also imclude the presentation by students of a topic related to the subject.
Small group interactive classes seminars , " S " in the timetables) |
Seminar |
Tutorials in very small group ("T" in the timetables ) planned by the teacher and coordinated by the Tutoring Center. In general, each student will account for two hours per semester and subject. Monitoring activities as directed exercises, clarification of doubts about theory, problems, exercises, readings or other proposed tasks. Also the presentation, discussion or comments in small groups. Attendance at these classes is mandatory. |
Mixed objective/subjective test |
Test to evaluate skills and knowledge |
Guest lecture / keynote speech |
Lesson taught by the teacher who may have different formats (theory, problems and / or general examples, general guidelines on the matter ... ). The teacher may have the support of audiovisual and computer media but, in general, students do not need to handle them in class. |

Assessment comments |
<p class="tw-data-text vk_txt tw-ta tw-text-small" data-placeholder="Traducción" id="tw-target-text" data-fulltext="" dir="ltr">Evaluation procedure.
The assessment of this will be done through continuous assessment and the completion of a final exam.<br />The access to the exam requires participation in at least 80% of classroom and teaching compulsory attendance <br />activities (seminars and tutorials.
Continuous assessment (N1) will weigh 40% in the total of the course and consist of two components: <br />interactive small group classes (seminars) and interactive classes in very small groups (tutorials). <br />Seminars and tutorials may include exercises and assignments made in person, exercises submitted to the teacher<br />or public presentations of topics previously selected.
The final exam (N2) will cover the entire content.
The student's score, will be obtained as a result of applying the following formula:
End = maximum Note (0.4 x 0.6 x N1 + N2, N2)
N1 is the corresponding to the continuous assessment (scale 0-10) and N2 numerical final exam (0-10 scale numerical grade.</p><p class="tw-data-text vk_txt tw-ta tw-text-small" data-placeholder="Traducción" data-fulltext="" dir="ltr">Students with part-time dedication or waiver attendance may choose to
be evaluated in a final exam if they do not qualify for continuous evaluation.</p>
