Methodology and grading

Methodology

Case studies: Learning through the analysis of actual or simulated cases in order to interpret and resolve them by employing various alternative solution procedures.
Cooperative learning: Develop active learning through cooperative working strategies among students and promote shared responsibility to reach group goals.
Lecture: Pass on knowledge and activate cognitive processes in students, encouraging their participation.
Problem-based learning: Develop active learning strategies through problem solving that promote thinking, experimentation, and decision making in the student.
Project-based learning: Realization of a project to solve a problem, applying acquired learning and promoting abilities related to planning, design, performing activities, and reaching conclusions.
Solving exercises and problems: Exercise, test, and apply previous knowledge through routine repetition.

Grading

The final evaluation will consist of a theoretical exam of all the topics covered in the course with multiple choice questions and short questions that assessed the concepts taught in the lectures and practice exam with test questions that evaluate the knowledge acquired in the laboratory and field trips.
The contribution of each part to the final grade is 60% Theory and Practice 40%.
Throughout the course, a part of theory and practice qualifying note 5. Students who fail to get a 5 will have to examine the whole matter in the final exam will be done.
Students who attend all the practices laboratory and field and properly submit your lab notebook and issues of field trips have already 10% of the practice mark, that is 1 point, provided that approved the practical exam with 5.
