Teaching methods and learning activities

Lectures (classes TP) exposing the main topics of the syllabus, always with illustrative examples. Lab work (classes PL) with the development by the students of application problems of the concepts and methods taught in the lectures.

Eligibility for exams

Type of evaluation: Distributed evaluation with final exam To be admitted to the final exam, the student: 1. Should not miss more than 25% of classes ( both TP and lab) (necessary condition); 2. Do a group assignment (study-EST) on a theme to be defined. The frequency grade (CF) is the grade of the group assignment. The final grade (NF) is calculated according to the following expression:NF = 0.6* PE +0.4 * F, where PE is the grade of the written final exam and F = min (CF, PE +4).

Calculation formula of final grade

The frequency grade (CF) is the grade of the group assignment. The final grade (NF) is calculated according to the following expression:NF = 0.6* PE +0.4 * F, where PE is the grade of the written final exam and F = min (CF, PE +4).

Examinations or Special Assignments

1. Group assignment (two students) (40%)

2. Examination covering all course subjects.

Special assessment (TE, DA, ...)

Students with a special status will be evaluated as regular students.

Classification improvement

Students have to attend recurso (resit) exam to improve their grades. The exam will cover the entire program.
