Learning outcomes and competences

Learning outcomes: We intend that all students achieve the objectives of this course and that they perform with enthusiasm and efficiency the tasks that will be asked in order to achieve a positive final classification.

Skills: Being a teacher implies knowing how to look and listen, knowing how to communicate with yourself and with others; it also implies knowing how to share and work in a team, realizing the context in which it is inserted in order to be able to adapt the methods to be used and the activities to be proposed. These are essentially the skills that we intend to work with students.

Eligibility for exams

Attendance to at least 75% of the given lectures

For students covered by legislation on special frequency regimes, special tests / work will be required to prove the knowledge and skills related to the objectives and contents of the discipline.

Calculation formula of final grade

The assessment of the level of knowledge acquired in class includes a distributed assessment with a final exam and written assignments. 

The distributed evaluation corresponds to 10 values of the final classification and includes the accomplishment of 1 test (5 points) and a final exam (5 points). 

The evaluation of the practical component, in the format of written works, corresponds to 10 values of the final evaluation. This assessment also includes oral presentation in the classroom. 

There is no provision for an oral exam. 

The minimum classification in any of the components will be 50% (5 values in the theoretical component and 5 values in the practical component). The sum of the two components of the evaluation must be equal to or greater than 9.5 values, otherwise the student will have to take his written test at the time of appeal. The minimum grade of this written test is 9.5.

Examinations or Special Assignments

In the case of student worker-students who do not participate in at least 75% of the classes taught, replacing the distributed evaluation, individual assignments with presentation, on topics to be agreed with the teacher, must be carried out. Students will have to contact the teacher in the first fifteen days of classes, in order to schedule the accomplishment of the different tasks.
