Teaching Methods
The teaching-learning methodologies will be developed through theoretical sessions and laboratory practices. They focus on students and are predominantly active and participatory, resorting to exposure, reflection, questioning, and demonstration. Laboratory classes are held in small groups (8-10 students) in order to allow simultaneous articulation with the theoretical contents that are being taught.
The evaluation is continuous, through two written evaluation tests. Individual test and an individual practical test, based on previously defined grids. The final classification results from the weighted average of the results obtained in the three evaluation moments: average of the two written tests - 65%; individual practical test - 35%, and must have at least 9,5 values in each of the components.
The final evaluation by exam of normal / resource period, consists of an individual theoretical test with duration of 90 minutes and a practical test lasting up to 30 minutes.
