Evaluation Methodology
Students will be assessed on an ongoing basis. In addition to the pedagogical and scientific factors specific to the project, assessment will consider the following criteria:
1. Attendance, punctuality and attitude: in addition to student attendance in person and the interest shown in learning the subjects, monitoring of the progress of work and other issues of a pedagogical nature related to the smooth running of the project will be considered positive. Negative behaviours include: lack of punctuality, answering the mobile phone or not having it turned off; browsing social networks; having the computer on during a theoretical lesson; leaving the class without a reason during the course of a theoretical explanation of interest to all; chating with classmates that undermines the smooth progress of the lesson.
2. Comply with deadlines;
3. Attendance of all students on the day scheduled for the assessments is crucial, since the tests are considered special classes to assess student progress.
4. All marks will be awarded on a 1-20 scale.
Exams
Students must bring all the work done during the semester and requested in the text; an additional written or oral exam, or both may be required.
