Assesssment methods and criteria:

Classification Type: Quantitativa (0-20)

Evaluation Methodology:
In theoretical classes, of an expository nature, calculation formulations and real cases are presented for critical discussion with students of current design solutions. In theoretical-practical classes, exercises are carried out in order to develop students' analytical skills. Normal Season: 1 test with theoretical questions and practical problems related to the subjects taught in the course. It aims to assess theoretical and theoretical-practical knowledge. 1 practical group work with oral presentation at the end of the semester. Test: 50% of the final grade and a minimum of 9,5 points. Practical group work: 50% of the final grade and a minimum of 9,5 points. Students with a grade higher than 16 will have to take an oral test, otherwise they will have as final grade of 16.
