Students with special educational needs should contact the Student Attention Service (Servicio de Atención y Ayudas al Estudiante) in order to receive the appropriate academic support

5. ASSESSMENT METHODOLOGY

It will be evaluated attendance, interest, critical spirit and participation in discussions during the lectures and guided tours to business and healthcare entities. The application of theoretical knowledge will be evaluated by solving exercises.

We evaluate the attendance and active participation in the laboratory, technical skills and the quality of results and resolution of proposed exercises.

The realization of seminars will be evaluated on the basis of the quality, clarity of exposition, argumentation, defense and the resources used.
