Assesssment methods and criteria:
Classification Type: Quantitativa (0-20)
Evaluation Methodology:
2 Several tests (50% +50%): So we can measure how much knowledge, both theoretical and practical, the student has acquired and his ability to solve problems. It also aims to analyze the student's ability to relate the different concepts and results that have been taught throughout the course.
