Teaching Methodologies and Assessment Criteria The transmission of program contents is fundamentally of an expository nature. However, it is intended that there will be room for asking questions, leading to group dialogue.
In this CU, theoretical-practical classes are used to apply the taught syllabus, with questions/problems being resolved in groups or individually.The laboratory part includes the completion of 2 laboratory assignments, presentation and discussion of reports.
The assessment has a theoretical component and a practical component.Theoretical assessment consists of individual written tests (2 tests or 1 exam, students may attend both assessment moments).
The minimum grade in each of the components is 10 values.
Language Portuguese. Tutorial support is available in English.
