Teaching methodologies

Assessment with final exam.

Demonstration of the teaching methodologies coherence with the curricular unit's intended learning outcomes

- The module is evaluated by two components:
- Laboratory work (TL) and theoretical test (TT).

Assessment methodologies and evidences

NF = 60% TL + 40% TT

- The laboratory works / projects use the microcontroller board Arduino Uno, being realized in the classes.

- The minimum mark in both components is 9.5 Values.

Attendance system

Approval in continuous assessment implies a minimum attendance of 75%.
