Assesssment methods and criteria:

Classification Type: Quantitativa (0-20)

Evaluation Methodology:
Blackboard will be used in theoretical classes to present the contents. The video projector can be used to display figures, plots, and tables. In theoretical-practical classes, students will solve problems from the problem sheets prepared by the teacher. During the semester, students will do two tests, each one counts for 50% of the grade. The tests have as objective the assessment of theoretical and theoretical-practical knowledge. Each test covers several topics of the curricular unit and requires from students, in particular, the ability to inter-relate different parts of the subject. The student may, during the semester, evaluate his/her performance and change strategies if necessary. Students can repeat one or two tests during the re-sitting period. Assessment Model: A
