4. COURSE DESCRIPTION AND TEACHING METHODOLOGY

- Lectures theory where the agenda will be developed and proposed activities through issues, jobs, relationship problems, to encourage student participation.

- The practical classes will begin with an introduction and explanation of the teacher, student participating in the development.

 

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

1. It will be necessary to pass the theory exam and practical assessment in order to pass the entire course.

2. To overcome the theoretical part of the course , you must obtain a minimum score of 5 out of 10 in each of the two parts into which the subject is divided , that is , first items 1, 2, 3 , 4, 7, 13 and 14; and secondly, the items 5, 6 , 8, 9 , 10, 11 and 12.

3. To overcome the practical work must be submitted to be responsible throughout the development of the same, ending in a delivery date prior to the regular call. A student in the Ordinary call not to hand the practices developed in class, must present and defend the proposed practices that teachers of the subject to the Special convocations, within the deadline set by the teachers.

In the non-presential scenario, the same assessment tests will be maintained, as well as the corresponding percentages. In the case of the theory and problems exam, the instrument to be used to assess the theoretical knowledge of the subject will be an online exam. Specifically, a written test will be carried out using the platforms recommended by the university (Preferably Google Forms). In this case, teachers can ask students, both to answer additional questions about the assessment test and to verify their identity (by means of Meet Google session while they perform the exercise) maintaining micro and camera open.
