1 hour of theory and two hours of practice per week.
Each student will read and interpret the cases presented and, then, they will be discussed and evaluated by the rest of the students and the teacher.
At the end of each topic, students will be given a problem case that will be studied by them and subsequently presented and discussed in a session.
Class attendance is mandatory.
Any lack of ethics will be assessed based on the current Academic Performance Aviation Regulations.
In the first call the following would be considered:
• Continuous evaluation (20% of the final grade) of the acquisition of specific skills through the tutoring of individual or group work and the development of interactive classes.
• Objective test (80%) where specific competencies will be evaluated: multiple choice exam with four answer options and only one true one. For every three wrong answers, one of the correct answers will be deducted.
In the other calls, a single final test will be carried out with a weighted value of 100%.
