Assesssment methods and criteria:

Classification Type: Quantitativa (0-20)

Evaluation Methodology:
The methodology employed in theoretical classes is expositive. The contents are laid out on the board, equations and formulae derived from first principles and great emphasis is put into the connection between physical formulae and the real world. Theoretical-practical classes consist in problem solving. Some key problems are worked out on the board, but the bulk of problems is solved independently by the students, who can count with individual assistance from the lecturer whenever needed. Evaluation Model: B. Evaluation Methodology: T and TP components: 2 written tests. In the examination period 1 or 2 of the 2 tests can be improved.
