Exercises. 

Development of the examination

Methods for assessing learning outcomes:
The learning assessment will be in a classic mode and it will consist in a written test and an oral discussion of the script. Thirty questions are provided for the examination.

Criteria for assessing learning outcomes: 
In the written and oral examination, students must propose synthetic and effective answers to problems of issues discussed during the lessons.

Criteria for measuring learning outcomes:
The final mark is attributed in thirtieths. Successful completion of the examination will lead to grades ranging from 18 to 30, and 30 with laud.

Criteria for conferring final mark:
The final mark is attributed by the evaluation of the written test and oral discussion. The student that in the written test reported a lower score 18 will not be admitted to the oral. The laud is attributed when the student demonstrates complete mastery of the matter.
