Teaching Methodologies and Assessment Criteria |
The evaluation of the curricular unit will be carried out through the evaluation of students' performance regarding the mastery and
understanding of concepts related to the guidance and prescription of physical exercise. The assessment includes:
1 – Group work consisting of research and analysis of 2 scientific articles on exercise programming for special populations covered in the
syllabus, with presentation/discussion in class – 20%
2 – Frequency of the content covered – 50%
3 – Presentation and discussion of a case study (i.e., specific problem from the real internship context) within the scope of the CU program
contents – 30%
Final classification:
The teaching-learning classification (TLC) grade = work 1 x 0.20 + frequency x 0.50 + work 3 x 0.30.
