Teaching Methods

The teaching methodology includes master classes and theoretical/practical lessons using models in addition to seminars and outreach guidance. Student involvement is encouraged, based on knowledge and educational competencies. Master classes introduce concepts and describe phenomena, whilst theoretical/practical lessons promote contact with organic structures by means of simulating models; seminars, imparted by experts, look to explore specific topics in more detail.

Assessment

Continuous evaluation through 2 individual moments, in the form of frequencies, the final classification results from the average of the marks of the 2 individual moments. Final evaluation regimen, at normal/recourse or special, has a written test, and happens according the school calendar.
