Assesssment methods and criteria:

Classification Type: Quantitativa (0-20)

Evaluation Methodology:
In the course of the activity and through what are the theoretical-practical experiences, the specific contents of the aquatic activities are permanently equated, analyzing their specifics and the relationships between the different activities Aquatic. In a more formal aspect, the periodic evaluation consists of three interconnected elements: a) a test (50%)-Minimum note = 10 values. Recovering on appeal. B. Ability to observe and show the progress and corrections programme of swimming techniques (25%)-Minimum Note = 10 values and 75% presence. Not recoverable in resource. C) Oral presentation in group work (25%), with computer support.
