Teaching Methodologies and Assessment Criteria |
Practical Work, lasting 12 weeks, includes the assessment of practical performance, a written report and an oral presentation, distributed as follows:
-Practical work (50% of the final mark): assessment according to the assessment grid for supervisor/co-supervisor;
- Theoretical work (50% of the final mark): assessment according to the assessment grid for the supervisor/co-supervisor;
- Report (for practical and theoretical work) + Oral presentation of practical or theoretical work (50% of the final mark).
Reports are assessed by the supervisor/co-supervisor and an external tutor from the same scientific area.
The report must be summarised in Portuguese and English. The report may be written in
English; however, this is optional and up to the student to decide.
The presentation is compulsory for both types of project, with a maximum duration of 10 minutes + 10 minutes of discussion. The report and presentation templates should be used.
