Teaching methods and learning activities

The classes will rely on a teaching methodology corresponding to a both theoretical and practical model composed by lecturing sessions and practices under a laboratorial format.
In order to obtain the frequency students have to attend 75% of classes. Continuous assessment will provide 50% of the final mark and implies practical work. The other 50% of the assessment will be granted by a written exam.
Approval requires 10 as the minimum mark.
The failure in continuous assessment implies evaluation by final exam, in the second call. In the final assessment the exam corresponds to 70% and practical work corresponds to 30% of the final mark.
