Teaching Methodologies and Assessment Criteria |
This course is organized in theoretical, theoretical-practical lessons and laboratorial work.
In the theoretical classes, the fundamental concepts of different subjects will be presented, using audiovisual media, whenever possible in the context of materials cycle of life, promoting the discussion of the themes developed according to the program. In theoretical-practical classes, knowledge is applied and consolidated by solving problems. Throughout the semester, laboratory classes will be held on some of the topics covered in the theoretical and theoretical-practical classes.
