Teaching Methodologies and Assessment Criteria |
The course is structured with alternated theoretical classes – T, where theoretical concepts of the syllabus are taught and some small practical examples are presented, and practical classes - P, where students apply the theoretical concepts by solving practical problems and search documentation concerning subjects of the organization of projects and building sites and planning of construction works appropriate to each syllabus contents. The teaching methodology is student-centred, which over the semester will learn and apply the acquired concepts with his autonomous work and also in students working groups with the support of teaching team.
Evaluation is performed in two phases:
1. Continuous evaluation: individual tests with theoretical and theoretical-practical questions (50%) and team works throughout the semester (50%).
2. Final exam for admitted students
