Teaching methods and learning activities

Lecture classes are exposed concepts using practical examples whenever necessary.

In recitation classes are proposed practical exercises, to be solved by students, in addition to the concepts previously presented in the lecture classes. In addition, the students will have to develop a project, in which they are expected to apply the concepts presented in class.

Eligibility for exams

Conditions for obtaining attendance: not exceeding the absence limit established in the general regulations (25% of the scheduled practical and theoretical-practical classes) and participating in/submitting the project.

Students who obtained attendance in the previous academic year may retain their attendance grade, provided they inform the course instructor during the first week of classes. In such cases, they should not enroll in theoretical-practical classes.

Calculation formula of final grade

Final Grade = 0.5 * Project + 0.5 * Exam

Minimum grade of 40% on the Exam.

Examinations or Special Assignments

Students will carry out a project, developed partially during the theoretical-practical classes, which will be presented in the final week of classes and submitted in the preceding week.

Special assessment (TE, DA, ...)

Working students must present their projects in the same week as the scheduled submission dates, strictly adhering to the deadlines set for regular students. Additionally, on dates previously agreed upon with the instructor, they must hold intermediate sessions to present their progress.

Classification improvement

The exam component can be improved in the same edition through the resit exam. The project component cannot be improved in the same edition.

Students who, having passed in the previous edition, wish to improve the project component will have to attend the course unit again.
