The training activities used in the course are:
- Assimilation of the concepts associated
- Personal work
- Evaluation activities
- Work in the laboratory
Each session is divided into two parts: in the first part the teacher teaches the basic skills so that students can investigate and perform the task. The rest of the session is dedicated to implementing the case. The teacher assists students who need to clarify any doubts that may arise.
Assessment activities used in the course are:
- Work performed individually or in groups
- Reports
For this subject, the teacher proposes a number of deliveries to perform each week. These deliveries correspond to the implementation and simulation of the concepts explained. Depending on the code and the results of the simulations the student obtains a series of marks that will build the final grade. The student must also perform a series of reports on the results.
The final mark of the subject is calculated based on the marks obtained in deliveries and individual examination, considering this as if it were a plus delivery and making reports. The marks of the deliveries are weighted 70% and the reports by 30%.
