Teaching Methodologies and Assessment Criteria Assessment by frequency:
a) Test (50% of the final grade, 10 points) – April 21, 2026 (2:00 PM - 6:00 PM)

b) Project (50% of the final grade, 10 points) - Individual work
Final presentation June 9, 2026 (2:00 PM - 6:00 PM)
c) Attendance: students must have a minimum attendance of 80% in classes, failing due to absences if this does not occur. Working students are exempt from this attendance rule.

The final grade by frequency will be the sum of the test grade and the project grade. To pass the course, the total grade must be higher than 9.5, and the grade in any of the assessments cannot be lower than 3.

Assessment by exam:
Students must have had a minimum attendance of 80% during the semester and completed the project with a minimum grade of 3 points.

The final grade by exam will be: 50% exam grade + 50% project grade
Language Portuguese. Tutorial support is available in English.
