Teaching Methods
The teaching methodology favours the theoretical exposition, given that this curricular unit is theoretical, and promotes the retention of learning through the completion of individual and group tasks:
a. Participatory lectures
b. Reading and discussion of texts (individual and group work)
c. Tutorial monitoring
d. Written tests
f. Participation and attendance
This course is theoretical, so the attendance regime does not apply. However, it is highly recommended that students attend classes, which is only possible if they are present.
This course can be assessed in one of the following ways, in accordance with the Academic Regulations (AR), which are available on the SIIUE:
Continuous Assessment regime (CA);
Final Assessment regime (FA).

Assessment
Continuous Assessment regime (CA):
2 written tests (WT1 and WT2) + participation (P). The Final Grade (FG) is calculated using the formula: FG = {[(WT1+WT2): 2]x0,90}+(Px0,10)
Students with FG ≤9.4 fail CA and have access to the Resit Exam, consisting of a written (W) and oral (O) test.
Access to the oral exam (O) requires a mark ≥7.5 in the written exam (W). A mark of ≥9.5 in the written exam (W) allows the oral exam (O) to be exempt.
The Final Grade (FG) is calculated according to one of the formulae:
FG = {(E+O):2]x0,60)} + (WT1 or WT2x0,40) or NF = (Ex0,60) + [(F1 or F2)x0,40].
A student who misses WT1 or WT2 will proceed to the Final Assessment regime.
Final Assessment regime (FA):
The Normal Exam (NE) and the Resit Exam (RE) consist of a written test (W) and an oral test (O).
Access to the oral exam (O) requires a mark ≥ 7.5 in the written test (W). The Final Grade (FG) for NE and RE is calculated according to the formula:
FG= (E+O):2
