Teaching Methodologies and Assessment Criteria |
This course lasts for one academic semester, involving 60 contact hours with the instructor, distributed as 45 hours of theoretical-practical classes and 15 hours of guidance. The classes will follow a problem-based learning (PBL) approach. Additionally, games will be used to simulate real-world logistical challenges.
The assessment will consist of:
An individual written exam (50%);
A group practical project (40%);
Individual practical exercises developed during classes (10%).
All assessment components must be completed, with a minimum score of 6 points in each to qualify for the final exam. The final grade must be equal to or greater than 9.5 points. Grade improvement can only be achieved through a final exam. The submission and oral presentation of the practical project are mandatory.
