Teaching methodologies and assessment
Teaching methodologies and assessment
The course offers sessions divided into theoretical and practical sessions. In the theoretical sessions, more than the lecture method, it is intend to attract and foster the spirit of intervention by exploiting the theoretical development of applications, which require a chain of reasoning without resorting to paper or programming. The evaluation regime will include an exam in the middle of the semester and another at the end, each one with a 50% valuation for the final classification. A minimum score of 7/20 is required for each evaluation element.
