Teaching methodologies

Different teaching methods are employed during this unit. These include lectures and practical sessions that are supported by student own independent study. Most of the theoretical sessions have associated slide presentations and reading material, which are posted on an e-learning platform. In practical sessions it’s expected students’ active role. Students use each other as models and benefit from practicing with as many different people as possible to gain experience.

Assessment methodologies and evidences

One written test and an interactive practical evaluation are used to assess student in the end of the unit. For the successful completion of this unit, the student must have 9.5/20 in each of the assessment activities.
