| Planned learning activities and teaching methods: Group and individual works to be presented in written and exposed in the class during the semester. |
| Assessment methods and criteria: The acquisition of skills related to this course and its learning outcomes will be assessed through continuous evaluation. The different activities to be jointly evaluated include theoretical and practical exams, participation in class, individual and group works, workshops as well as participation in complementary activities. All activities will be evaluated within the grade scale from 1 to 10. For successful completion of the course, the student shall obtain a final mark equal to or higher than 5. Each activity will form a part of the final grade in equivalent percentage value, which will not exceed 40%.
The student is entitled to two evaluations. The second evaluation process will be carried out only for those activities, which shall be revaluated. The students, who fail to obtain the required skills through activities that cannot be revaluated, will have to register again for the course in the following academic year for the purpose to acquire those competences.
