Teaching Methodologies and Assessment Criteria |
Classes include Theoretical (T), Theoretical with practical application and computational and problem-solving activities (TP) and Laboratory work (PL). Classes T, TP and PL are dynamic and interactive classes with students’ participation.
Final grade (NF)= 60% (NT) + 40% (NP)
NT = average grade of two Tests or Exame grade;
NP = 20% x TPL1 + 20% x TPL2 + 20% TPL3 + 20% TAP + 10% TP1 + 10% TP1;
Laboratory work with report (TPL); Practical component evaluation test (TAP); Theoretical-Practical applied work with report (TP)
NP is the Practical component evaluation grade, and it is mandatory to have a grade equal or above 9.5 val.
The attendance of T, TP and PL classes is recommended and it is mandatory in 50% of the classes.
