Attendance to laboratory practices is considered mandatory for students who opt for continuous assessment. If the student does not carry out the laboratory practices during the course, she must take a theoretical-practical exam that allows evaluating the same contents and skills that are acquired after completing the practices. | |
| Problem solving and/or case studies [ON-SITE] | Problem solving and exercises | CA04 CA05 CA06 CB02 CE04 | 0.8 | 20 | Y | N | Resolution of exercises and problems in the classroom in a participatory manner. The frequency, interest and quality of the interventions will be assessed by rounding the final grade obtained up to a maximum of 0.25 points. Some of the hours will be taught in a tutored manner and the individual doubts raised by the students will be addressed. | |
| Individual tutoring sessions [ON-SITE] | Guided or supervised work | CB02 CT03 | 0.12 | 3 | N | N | Tutorials in which students can consult all doubts regarding the subject. These can be carried out in the classroom. | |

The objective is to promote the work and continuous study of the subject. The delivery of all cases raised on date and form is considered mandatory for students who opt for continuous assessment. If the student does not take the proposed tests during the course or any of them, they must take an exam in this part that evaluates the same contents and skills that are acquired in carrying out these practical cases. | |
| Writing of reports or projects [OFF-SITE] | Combination of methods | CA01 CA02 CA05 CB02 CB03 CE04 CE18 CT03 CT05 | 0.4 | 10 | Y | N | Based on the work begun in the practical laboratory classes, students must prepare, individually, a report (practice report) where they analyze and capture the results and conclusions of their experience in the laboratory. The delivery of practice reports is considered mandatory for students who opt for continuous assessment. | |
| Study and Exam Preparation [OFF-SITE] | Self-study | CA05 CA06 CB02 CB03 CE04 CE11 CT01 CT03 | 2.8 | 70 | N | N | Autonomous personal study of theory and problems where the student exercises the knowledge learned in the face-to-face classes in the classroom. It also supposes for the student a possibility of self-evaluation facing the progress and final tests. | |
| Final test [ON-SITE] | Assessment tests | CA04 CA05 CB02 CB03 CE04 CE11 CE18 CT03 | 0.16 | 4 | Y | Y | Written test (final exam) consisting of problems and/or theoretical questions referring to the entire subject.
