Teaching Methodologies and Assessment Criteria Assessment is carried out in two stages:
1. Continuous assessment (Teaching–Learning Classification – CEA):
Two individual tests, midterm assessments carried out during class time, covering the subjects from a theoretical and theoretical–practical perspective (50%), and the completion of three practical assignments (individual or group) throughout the semester (50%).
CEA = 0.1×TR1 + 0.1×TR2 + 0.3×TR3 + 0.25×TFR1 + 0.25×TFR2

2. Final exam for eligible students:
The exam test (EXA) has the same weighting as the two tests in continuous assessment.
The practical assignments are included in the final assessment, but improvement of practical assignments during the exam period is not permitted.
CEX = 0.1×TR1 + 0.1×TR2 + 0.3×TR3 + 0.50×EXA

Language Portuguese. Tutorial support is available in English.
