| Description |
|
Meetings with the teacher will be done trying to prioritize virtual attention: - Videoconference with the Teams: from 15:00 to 17:00 before sending an email to carmenmaria.torres@urv.cat to confirm availability of the day and time of the meeting. - The use of Moodle question forums is recommended to solve doubts that may be common to all students. - For very specific questions you can also send an email.

Continuous assessment 30% of the grade from the delivery of exercises related to the contents of the course. The practical exam (70%) at the end of the course consists of solving problems (planning and simulation) similar to those made during the course using the specific software. It is necessary to obtain a 4 out of 10 in the final practical exam to pass. Second call The score of the deliverable exercises will be saved, therefore they are not recoverable (30%). The remaining 70% will consist of a new practical test. |
