Evaluation

To pass the course, it is necessary to have passed the three parts that are evaluated: class practices, theoretical test and final project.

The final grade is the weighted average of the three parts: theoretical test (30%), final project (50%) and practical exercises (20%).

If the average is not higher than 5, only the final exam or the final project for the course can be retaken. If both parts are failed, the course can no longer be retaken.

Methodology

An active methodology is used in which the necessary theoretical knowledge alternates with its practical application in the cases presented in class and in the comprehensive creation process of an event that serves as the final project of the subject.
