Teaching Methodologies and Assessment Criteria The contents of this curricular unit are exposed in theoretical classes (expositive and interactive methods), and its practical aspect is explored in practical laboratory classes. Each type of class has two weekly contact hours.
Practical classes are governed by laboratory guides that students run on laboratory computers. The proposed individual and group works are designed so that students develop the technical skills described in the objectives by designing and implementing labs. The theoretical and practical components are evaluated using three main elements:
- Labs 60% - 12 Values;
- Project 40% - 8 Values.
Language Portuguese. Tutorial support is available in English.
