Attendance
Attendance is optional but strongly recommended.Type of evaluation
The assessment of the level of learning consists of an oral exam with a discussion of the topics covered during the course, as well as the presentation of a project in which the skills acquired in industrial design are applied. The evaluation is graded on a scale of 18/30 to 30/30, with the possibility of honors. The minimum grade (18/30) is awarded if the student demonstrates the ability to use software tools to solve real problems, employing the theoretical methods presented in the course. The maximum grade (30/30) is awarded if the student shows that they have thoroughly explored all aspects covered during the course and have achieved a high level of competence in applying the theoretical methods and software tools. Honors are reserved for those who master the topics and tools, go beyond the required results, propose intelligent solutions, demonstrate excellent design outcomes, and present them with particular linguistic clarity.
