Methodologies
Methodologies Description
Guest lecture / keynote speech Exhibition of the contents specified in the program of the subject, for which audiovisual media (tablet) will be used.
ICT practicals Interactive practices in which relevant problems in the field of Science and Engineering will be solved, using Python programming language.
Problem solving Sessions where relevant problems in the field of Science and Engineering will be presented, which will be solved both analytically and numerically. The student must be able to reach the solution of any problem using pencil and paper or alternatively using computer tools (using Python), and compare the results.
Mixed objective/subjective test Development of issues and problems of the subject.

Personalized attention
Methodologies
Problem solving
ICT practicals
Description
a) The diversity of the students and their training make it advisable to have personalized guidance, which could be carried out through tutorials.
b) Practices with ITC tools in problem solving, or teachers will help students to develop two stated problems, as well as applications to problems in the field of Science and Engineering.
c) The specific personalized attention measures for "Students with recognition of part-time dedication and academic waiver of attendance exemption" for the study of the subject, the continuous evaluation of the practices through ITC and the resolution of problems carried out through tests online partials.

Assessment comments

The final qualification of the subject consists of three parts: 

  •  Qualification of internships through ICT (CP): between 0 and 2.5 points
  •  Problem Solving Qualification (CR): between 0 and 2.5 points 
  •  Mixed test qualification (CE): between 0 and 5 points.
The final qualification will be the sum of three parts: Final_Note= CP + CR + CE, if the qualification of the mixed test (CE) is greater than 1.3 (over 5 points). In other case, the final qualification will be the mark obtained on the mixed test, CE.

The qualifications of practices through ICT (CR) and problem solving (CP) will be retained in the second opportunity of the evaluation.

Students who do not show up for the final mixed test will be considered as "Not presented".

Observations on o “Students with recognition of part-time dedication and academic exemption from attendance exemption”: As specific personalized attention measures for o “Students with recognition of part-time dedication and academic exemption from attendance exemption” for or study da matter, the continuous assessment of the practices through ICT and the resolution of problems will be carried out through online partial tests.
