Description |
Introductory activities |
Activities aimed to making contact and collecting information from students and presentation of the subject. |
Lecture |
Presentation by the teacher of the different contents of the subject. |
Problem solving, exercises in the classroom |
Formulation, analysis, resolution and debate of a problem or exercise, related to the content of the subject. |
Personal attention |
Reserved time to contact with the students to solve queries and guide them in the learning process. |
Description |
Address students individually in order to guide them in the acquisition of technical knowledge and social skills. Inquiries are usually made during arranged visits during the office hours of the professor. The schedule and the place of attention to the student will be established at the beginning of the course. It is advisable to make an appointment by email. |

Continuous evaluation: In order to pass the subject, it is necessary to achieve at least 4/10 in the average between the two tests of knowledge evaluation and 3.5/10 of the exercises to be delivered. Second call: A new evaluation test (corresponding to the contents not passed in the continuous evaluation) will be carried out, which will substitute the mark of one or two of the evaluation tests already carried out. In this test you must achieve at least 4/10 to make average with the exercises to be delivered. The use or possession of communication and data transmission devices during the performance of the tests is prohibited, with the exception of the express consent of the professor. During the evaluation tests, mobile phones, tablets and other devices that are not expressly authorized by the test must be turned off and out of sight.The demonstration of the fraudulent conduct of some evaluative activity of a subject in both material and virtual or electronic support leads to the student the failing grade of this evaluation activity. Regardless of this, in view of the seriousness of the facts, the centre may propose the initiation of a disciplinary file, which will be initiated by resolution of the rector. |
