Teaching methods and learning activities

Theoretical classes:
- Use of ppoint slides. The exhibition is illustrated with the visualization of the equipments, whenever such it is possible.


Practical classes:

- Development of the licensing project.


Note: In order to develop the referred licensing project, the students are organized in groups (3 students).

Evaluation Type

Distributed evaluation with final exam

Assessment Components

Designation Weight (%)
Exame 25,00

Eligibility for exams

a) The students must not exceed the absence limit established to the practical classes;
b) The students must have a minimum grade of 40%, on the group assignement.

Calculation formula of final grade

CLASSIFICATION = 0.75x(Grade obtained on the group assignment) + 0.25 x (Grade obtained on the final exam).

Examinations or Special Assignments

•Test with questions about the topics of the theoretical classes.

Special assessment (TE, DA, ...)

Identical to the evaluation procedure established to the ordinary students.

Classification improvement

It is necessary a new entry in the discipline.

Observations

Transparencies / electronic documents used on theorethical classes, are provided to students, covering most of the subjects. However, we recommend the consultation of the catalogs of manufacturers of electrical equipment.
