Teaching Methods
The unit is organized into lectures and tutorials according to the regulation school of the UE. Lectures are plenary and based on the scientific method, emphasizing the search for information, the interpretation of experimental results and a critical and scientific rigor in students.
The assessment includes answering to questions during classes, and the organization and presentation by the students of relevant scientific articles and discussion with the teacher. The evaluation icludes the option for an elaboration and submittion of a manuscript, or an written assessment through a frequency or a final exam.
Despite the work attendance is essential to success in the course, relevance will be also given to working at distance. This will be done primarily through the provision of resources in Moodle. Student work will be guided by specific objectives to be achieved in different syllabus. The more practical skills will be acquired in person.
