Methodologies
Methodologies   ::  
  Description
Personal tuition Time that each teacher has reserved to answer and resolve students' doubts.
Laboratory practicals Practical realization of the contents covered in the master sessions.
PBL (Problem Based Learning) Strategy consisting of problem solving and reflection on their experiences that students must carry out, normally working collaboratively.
Presentations / expositions Oral presentation by students of a specific topic or a work.
Lecture Presentation of the contents of the subject

Personalized attention
 
Personal tuition
Description
Resolution of doubts individually or in groups and in-person. Tutoring sessions will be arranged in advance with the teacher

Assessment
  Description Qualification
Practical tests The contents corresponding to laboratory practices and problem-based learning will be evaluated through a practical test on the physical device. 25%
Mixed tests The contents corresponding to the master sessions and the laboratory practices will be evaluated through several mixed-type tests (short questions, multiple choice, development, etc.) that will be distributed throughout the course. As well as short questionnaires. 75%
Others To pass through continuous evaluation you must obtain at least a 3 out of 10 in each of the mixed tests.

In order to qualify for the continuous evaluation, the delivery of each of the practices will be mandatory.

Inappropriate attitude in the classroom, laboratory or evaluation tests will be penalized with 20% of the final grade.
 
Other comments and second call

In the extraordinary call, a test will be carried out that evaluates the theoretical and practical skills acquired by the student.

EVALUATION TESTS

During the evaluation tests, it will not be possible to use any material or device that has not been expressly authorized by the teacher.

If any irregularity occurs during the corresponding exam or evaluation test, the exam will be immediately withdrawn, the student will be expelled and graded as a fail. In any case, the provisions of the internal regulations of the ULE included in the document "Guidelines for action in cases of plagiarism, copying or fraud in exams or evaluation tests" will be followed (Approved Permanent Commission of the Government Council 01/29 /2015).
