Teaching Methodologies and Assessment Criteria Classes will discuss the points of the program and case studies of the application of concepts and different methodologies brought by the teacher and/or guests. In the second part of the semester, students will present their pre-projects. Given the eminently formative and teleological character, the evaluation consists of the assessment of the thesis pre-project, taking into account the mastery of the concepts and subjects presented, and considers the degree of satisfaction of the objectives, the quality of the fulfillment of the tasks, the perception that the student reveals these factors, progression and attendance.
Language Portuguese. Tutorial support is available in English.
