Teaching method

Lectures with oral and written exercises mini.

Practical lessons in the lab with practical group work and individual research.

Lectures on case studies.

Public presentation of the work on defense by the student.

Evaluation method

 

ASSESSMENT OF KNOWLEDGE

The method of valuation is of course the model of continuous assessment,with a minimum of 7 values ​​for each of the components of evaluation -practical and theoretical.

05.01. Evaluation Process

05.01.01Continuous Assessment (CA):
summation of the classification of practical workIndividual practical work(TI01) Daily Graph (DG); Working Group (TG), Individual Work 02 (Ti02);
classification of the theory test (EE)
quality of participation of each student in class and their attendance withmandatory attendance to 75% of classes provided (theoretical and practical) (QP)

AC = Σ [TI01 (10%) + DG (5%) + TG (12.5%​​) + Ti02 (20%)] + EE (50%) +QP (2.5%)

AC = Final Note

05.01.02Oral Examination (OE)
oral examination that focuses on the subject of the whole program taught in the discipline
The final grade (Mfrom the notes of EO and AC and is obtained by the formula:

M = (0.50 OE + 0,50 AC)

05.01.03Written Examination Appeal (ERE):
Individual written examination that focuses on the subject of the entire program is taught in the discipline required for students who obtain grade lower than 9.5 in the process of continuous assessment (CA).
The examination is individual and without consultation.
Final Grade = ERE

05.02Rules of Assessment

05.02.01Students whose grade obtained in the AC is less than 9.5 are exclude, not having access to the oral test.
05.02.02The oral examination (OE) is mandatory for students with a gradeof AC higher than 16
05.02.03Students with a grade of AC higher than 16 who do not have to submit to oral examination as the final grade 16 marks.
05.02.04For students with a grade of AC greater than 9.5 and less than 16,the oral exam (OE) is optional.
05.02.05The Appeal Written Exam (ERE) is mandatory for all students who have obtained the AC score below 9.5.
