Teaching Methodologies and Assessment Criteria |
The teaching-learning methodology involves theoretical-practical classes, tutorials, research work and oral presentations, which together make it possible to assess the students' level of knowledge. The final grade is obtained from the weighted average of 20 per cent of the teacher's notes on the students' intervention in class, a group research project (3 to 5 elements) with a weight of 25 per cent and two written tests (frequency) with a weight of 27,5 per cent each in the arithmetic average of the final result.
