Teaching Methodologies and Assessment Criteria	The weekly classes consist of two theoretical/practical classes and two practical/laboratory classes. On average, the number of students enrolled in practical/laboratory classes are divided into working groups. Theoretical/practical classes are intended for the presentation of the syllabus and related problems by the teacher, the guidance and monitoring of individual or group work (in groups of three or four) on the topics covered and observed ‘in situ’ in practical/laboratory classes, and discussion of preliminary results. The assessment consists of two elements: written research work (60%) and the presentation of the results of the work carried out (in PowerPoint, worth 30%). Class participation is assessed as 10% of the final mark.
Language	Portuguese. Tutorial support is available in English.
