Teaching Methods
Lectures and practical classes with problems that accompany the theoretical material. Provision of a series of exercises of gradual difficulty, covering the taught topics to students to practice their
mastery of the subject.
mastery of the subject.
Assessment
The assessment of this course unit comprises the following components:
a) Theoretical component: written tests ? three written assessments (3 × 20%) or one final exam (60%). Students choose between continuous assessment and final assessment through an exam. All students may take the resit exam.
b) Practical component: two practical assignments (2 × 20%). The assignments include software, a report, and a presentation, on a date to be agreed upon. The practical component is mandatory in any assessment period.
Grade calculation: 0.6 × PE + 0.2 × PA1 + 0.2 × PA2
where PE = (WA1 + WA2 + WA3) / 3, without rounding, or the grade obtained in an exam.
Minimum grade: 8 points in all written tests and assignments.
Assignments may be completed individually or in groups of two students.
Oral Examination
If it is deemed necessary to verify the extent to which the student has developed the knowledge and skills set out for the course unit, the teaching team may summon the student to an oral examination, under the terms of the nr. 13 of Article 110 of the Academic Regulations of the University of Évora, with the conditions set out in the nr. 4 of Article 116 and the nr. 1 of Article 118 of the same Regulations being ensured.
When triggered, the oral examination shall carry a weighting of 60% in the final grade of the course unit, to be combined with the remaining 40% of the practical component (which includes the presentation/demonstration of the assignments).
