Description |
Introductory activities |
Presentation of the objectives, the scope, the grading procedure, and the plannification of the course. |
Lecture |
Development of the main contents of the course with expositive sessions conducted by the course instructor, combined with hands-on examples and exercices that are solved in the classroom. |
Problem solving, classroom exercises |
Handout sessions in which the students work on short problems, either individually or in group. |
Problem solving, exercises |
Open-ended problems that are presented in one short session in the class, and that the students must solve individually, and submit in a written report |
|
Description |
The students may contact the course instructor during his student-attention office hours to solve specific doubts or seek general orientation on the course and related topics.
The course instructor may also interview the students for specific questions related to their performance during the course. |
|
|
Description |
Weight |
Problem solving, exercises |
The students will solve three open-ended problems along the course. The results of those problems will be presented as written reports. These will account for 50% of the course grade. |
50% |
Practical tests |
There will be 1 test at the end of the course that will account for 50% of the course grade. |
50% |
|
Other comments and second exam session |
Students that do not pass the course following the continuous evaluation items described above, will take a final exam on the date specified in the academic calendar of the ETSEQ for this master. In this case, the final grade will be the mark obtained in this exam (100% final exam) |
