Description |
Guest lecture / keynote speech |
Oral presentation of the topic supplemented with PowerPoint presentations, videos and / or diagrams on the board. During the development of the topic questions will be inserted students to reflect on and answer them orally, prior to explanation by the teacher. |
Seminar |
Technical working group aims intensive study of a topic. It will take place in very small groups of 10-15 students. It will include making of audiovisual materials on the topic studied. |
Mixed objective/subjective test |
Consist of two parts, in which the knowledge acquired theoretical and practical point is evaluated. The mixed evidence may include essay questions, multiple choice or problems |
Laboratory practice |
Methodology that allows estudantes effectively learn through conducting practical activities, such as demonstrations, exercises, experiments and research. |
Personalized attention |
|
Description |
Students, in groups of 10, will meet with the teacher to prepare the seminar work. In addition, tutorial sessions, each student will discuss with the teacher the progress of the work and all the doubts that may arise.
For those students with official half-time dedication, the tutorial sessions might be replaced by a written work, if the student requires it. |

Assessment comments |
The qualification assessment will have two parts: 1) Theoretical part of the course, including two methodologies: "Seminario" ("seminar"), and the theoretical part of "proba mixta" (final exam). 2) Practical part of "proba mixta" (final exam). To get a pass a student has to get a minimum of 4 points out of 10 in the Theoretical part of the course and a minimum of 4 points out of 10 in the Practical part. Moreover, a minimum of 4 points out of 10 has to be got in in the theoretical part of the "proba mixta" and also in the practical part of the "proba mixta". Moreover, in order to get the pass, the average/mean of the different parts and methodologies has to be at least 5 points out of 10. Attendance to practicals is compulsory. If a student does not attend to one or two sessions of the practicals, he/she will have a penalty of one and two points, respectively, to be substracted from the score of the “proba mixta”. If the student does not attend to three or more sessions of the practicals, he/she will get a fail as the final score in the course. The students that do not carry out the "proba mixta" will be qualified as "NO PRESENTADO".For those students with official half-time dedication and academic exemption, the tutorial sessions might be replaced by a written work, if the student requires it.
