Final test | 35.00% | 100.00% | |
Practicum and practical activities reports assessment | 10.00% | 0.00% | Active participation in the laboratory and the computer classroom will be positively valued. A small report written by each group of practices will be evaluated |
Assessment of problem solving and/or case studies | 20.00% | 0.00% | Carry out properly the problems proposed in group, assessing the correctness in the approach, in the development and in the final result. Concept errors and errors in basic mathematical operations will involve penalties. |
Mid-term tests | 35.00% | 0.00% | Correctly and reasonably answer the theory questions, as well as adequately carry out the exercises proposed in the partial exam on concepts in unit 1. Students who obtain a grade of 4/10 both in theory and in problems release this matter for the exam Ordinary. Resolution of proposals for calculating equipment whose design is dealt with in Unit 2. The evaluation of Unit 2 will be carried out in the ordinary exam. |
