Teaching Methods
The pedagogical model combines an approach based on the transmission of content in (4.1.) with the active construction of knowledge by the student, in autonomy (4.3) or in laboratory practice (4.2) where the acquired knowledge is applied.
4.1 Lectures:
4.1.1. chronological presentation of the syllabus;
4.1.2 Consolidation through debates and group discussions, small individual or group practical exercises, and monitoring of practical work.
4.2 Laboratory classes:
4.2.1 Accompanying practical work, short workshops, accompanying individual and group work, study visits and conferences with guest specialists.
4.3 Autonomous work: Carrying out group and/or individual research work and/or reports (on classes, conferences or visits), guided in (4.1. and 4.2).

Assessment
5.1. Grading in this results from one of the following assessment schemes: continuous assessment or final exam. Class attendance is compulsory (75% of classes).
Continuous assessment = (0.25xA) + (0.25xB) + (0.25xC) + (0.25xD)
Assessment by regular examination = 0.50x[(0.25xA) + (0.25xC) + (0.25xC) + (0.25xD)] + (0.50xE)
Assessment by exam in appeal period, special period exam and extraordinary period exam = 0.40x[(0.25xA) + (0.25xC) + (0.25xC) + (0.25xD)] + (0.60xE)
Where:
Final grade - cannot be less than 10.
A, B, C, D - assessment moments carried out during the period, corresponding to tests and/or assessment of practical work, including intermediate assessments and/or the realisation of quick exercises in class. The arithmetic average of components A, B, C and D cannot be less than 10 marks. The assessment of practical work may be accompanied by an oral presentation, with or without a jury of at least two teachers.
E - exam with a minimum mark of 10.
