Description |
Supervised projects |
Activities whose purpose is that the students enlarge the study of the topics presented in each theme and consolidate their acquired knowledge and capabilities. These activities should aslo help the students learn and improve their capabilities in literature survey.
|
Objective test |
Final exam, at the end of the course, that will help evaluation of the knowledge, competencies and global vision about materials acquired by the students. |
Guest lecture / keynote speech |
Presentation made by the teacher, on a schematic basis, focusing on the main topics of each theme and covering both theoretical and practical issues.

Assessment comments |
The so-called "second chance" is understood as a new opportunity to take the mixed test. However, if necessary, the teaching staff may include a second part on aspects related to the supervised work. The percentages of the different contributions will be the same as in the "first opportunity". The teaching-learning process, including assessment, refers to one academic year (this implies that each year a new process begins, including all assessment activities and procedures). In the case of students with academic dispensation, in order to pass the subject they must, like their classmates, take both the objective test and the corresponding tutored work, which the teacher may adapt to better suit their particular circumstances, maintaining the percentages. It is reminded that the fraudulent completion of any activity or test required for the evaluation of the subject will be sanctioned with a failure as stated in the "Reglamento
disciplinar del Estudiantado in the UDC" (article 11, 4b)
