Teaching Methodologies and Assessment Criteria The teaching of the discipline is done in mixed sessions (lectures and problem solving). The Students is proposed to solve problems at home (homework). The course lasts one semester, involving 60 hours of contact with the teacher, 100 hours of autonomous work and 8 hours for evaluation (total 168 hours).


Student evaluation:
average of two tests , each with 50% factor

Presence in class is motivated. Students should at least attend 50% of the classes
All that may pretend to attend a final exam are admitted, without constraints.
Language Portuguese. Tutorial support is available in English.
