Teaching methodology

The teaching-learning methodology in individual classes involves monitoring the student’s progress and providing guidance. Autonomous work involves personal study and preparation of the materials to be worked on in class.

Assessment systems

The assessment system is based on continuous assessment, based on a diagnostic assessment and a summative assessment that gives rise to the final grade. Continuous assessment is carried out through different assessment records derived from specific assessment activities such as progress in class and the performance of auditions or concerts.

There is one grade for each semester (4).
