Teaching Methodologies and Assessment Criteria Gradual explanation of the syllabus and resolution of problems.
- A total of 30 hours of theoretical classes (T), where the exposition of the programmatic contents is made;
- A total of 30 hours of practical classes (TP), where the practical application of the contents is done through the
elaboration of exercises and practical works.
The evaluation is carried out in two phases:
- Continuous assessment: test(s) (with a weight on the final grade between 30 to 50%) and practical assignments (70 to 50%). The minimum attendance to be assessed and the minimum competences (minimum grade) to be admitted to the examination are established annually in accordance with UBI regulations;
- Final Exam: The exam has the same percentage as defined in the continuous assessment. The practical assignments are also counted in the final evaluation, but their improvement is not allowed.
Language Portuguese. Tutorial support is available in English.
