Teaching Methodologies and Assessment Criteria |
This curricular unit is taught in such a way as to demonstrate the strong practical applicability and research potential of Regional Science. In addition to face-to-face classes, the curricular unit is structured in such a way as to associate b-learning and active learning solutions with these classes, which ensures greater flexibility, a continuous assessment process and the possibility of real-time contact between students and the teaching team.
Students can choose between continuous assessment and examination. Under the continuous assessment system, students must carry out a piece of research, which will count for 100% of the course's final grade. Under the examination system, students must take a written test (Exam) which will count for 100% of the final grade for the course unit. The written exam also assesses the practical component and, therefore, the applied nature of the course.
