Teaching Methodologies and Assessment Criteria The Multimedia Project I curricular unit will be assessed according to two components of research and project development, one individual and one in a team, and a third component of participation:


I - Research and personal creation project area - Interpretation, using a flexible visual system, of a reference text in Design Literature (research/essay) -> 40%


II - Research and development area for team project: Digital Design Systems -> 40%


III - Critical Thinking in Design - Class Participation -> 20%


Final assessment criteria:
Overall, the critical and sustained participation of the students in the class moments of development, discussion and validation of the project phases will be encouraged and assessed.


IMPORTANT: This course does not include an exam as a final assessment.
Language Portuguese. Tutorial support is available in English.
