  • Abstract
    This paper presents a proposal for continuous assessment in a course of the first year in Telecommunication Technologies Engineering, carried out at the University of Vigo, Spain, and it is developed for the first time under the new directives of the European Higher Education Area. It describes the methodology, implementation experience, and feedback from the students. This paper concludes with an analysis of the cost for the teacher of the implementation of such techniques of continuous assessment.
