Assesssment methods and criteria:

Classification Type: Quantitativa (0-20)

Evaluation Methodology:
Through the experience of different theoretical and practical situations and laboratory practices, the contents of the course are transmitted, reflected on and consolidated. A continuously structured training process is promoted with the creation of study habits, requiring research and work, with subsequent presentation and discussion. Two assignments are given (60% (Tests - 30%+30%) + 40% (Assignment I-20% and Assignment II-20% and participation))/100. Minimum final mark of 9.5 on the weighted average of all the items, respecting the minimums indicated: Tests-minimum mark of 8, with the student having to have an average of 9.5 on both tests together (recoverable in complementary assessment). Failure to fulfil this requirement will result in a Supplementary Assessment; Assignments - minimum mark of 8 with an average of 9.5 on all these items (not recoverable). Failure to fulfil the stages of continuous assessment makes it impossible to pass. Attendance at 75% of classes is compulsory.
