Teaching Methodology

The course consists of 1,8 hours per week of classroom activity (large size group) and 0,8 hours weekly with half the students (medium size group). The 1,8 hours in the large size groups are devoted to theoretical lectures, in which the teacher presents the basic concepts and topics of the subject, shows examples and solves exercises. We spend 0.9 hours (medium group), the resolution of the five course work, with greater interaction with students, to consolidate the general and specific learning objectives. Support material in the form of a detailed teaching plan is provided using the virtual campus ATENEA: content, program of learning and assessment activities conducted and literature. Although most of the sessions will be given in the language indicated, sessions supported by other occasional guest experts may be held in other languages.

Grading Rules

The evaluation calendar and grading rules will be approved before the start of the course.

The rating of the course is obtained from the average grades of continuous assessment and the related course work. The continuous assessment is to do different activities, both individual and group training and of additive, made during the course (in the classroom and outside it). The rating of the degree course work, is the average of such work. The assessment tests consist of a part with issues associated with the concepts of the course learning objectives with regard to knowledge or understanding, and a set of application exercises.

Test Rules

If not done any of the coursework or continuous assessment activityin the scheduled period will result in a mark of zero in that activity.
