Teaching Methods
The teaching sessions are theoretical-practical, combining the concepts with their application to concrete cases. The sessions include the resolution of practical exercises and case studies, with students actively participating in their resolution or discussion. In addition to the sessions, students are encouraged to solve practical exercises on their own, in order to develop the spirit of autonomy.
Assessment
According to article 93 of the Academic Regulation (Service Order No. 13/2016), the student can opt for the Continuous Assessment Regime (RAC) or the Final Examination Regime (REF). Failure to attend one of the continuous assessment tests, or obtaining a grade lower than seven (7) points, requires the transfer to the final exam regime.
The Continuous Assessment Regime consists of two assessment tests (50% each test), while the Final Examination Regime consists of a single test, the exam.
