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. In addition, within the supervised projects can include a small work of specific subjects of the assignment to ensure the correct understanding of the subject. |
Field trip |
Visit to an industrial facility related to the content of the subject. |
Mixed objective/subjective test |
It consists in carrying out an test of approximately 4 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 "Mixed test" will be divided into a theoretical (multiple choice), short questions and exercices part. The grade obtained by the student with the "Supervised projects" will be weighted with the mark obtained in the exercices of the "Mixed test". It is necessary to exceed 50% of the score in the multiple choice part of the "Mixed test" to pass the subject. The students, that don't pass the "Supervised projects", have to pass bigger sxercices in the "Mixed test". Students with recognition of part-time dedication and academic waiver of attendance exemption, second establishes the "NORMA QUE REGULA O RÉXIME DE DEDICACIÓN AO ESTUDO DOS ESTUDANTES DE GRAO NA UDC (Arts. 2.3; 3.b e 4.5) (29/5/212)", will be evaluated in the same way, allowing one more week of margin in the assignments. For the second opportunity, there will be no second deadline for assignments, and the evaluation will be done in a similar way to the first opportunity.
