Assesssment methods and criteria:

Classification Type: Quantitativa (0-20)

Evaluation Methodology:
The curricular unit is developed through lectures theoretical / practical resorting to the expository-participatory and demonstrative method where, in addition to the exposition of the previously worked subject, practical cases will be idealized in order to promote the participation and reflection of the group. In practice students mobilize knowledge and apply instrumental skills that are protocolized and learned. The evaluation model will be the B, encompassing two elements (frequency and work) with a weight of 50% each. The minimum grade, in each of the evaluation elements, is 9.5 values, and can be recovered at the time of appeal.
