Teaching Methods
Theoretical teaching will be essentially expository. Indirect (constructivist) teaching will also be developed, both in theoretical classes and in theoretical-practical classes.
The evaluation will be divided into two stages:
1. Continuous assessment:
- Theoretical (60%), theoretical test at the end of the semester;
- Theoretical-practical (40%), group work.
For approval, the student must obtain a weighted average of 9.5 or more.
2. Evaluation by final exam (100%).
For approval, the student must obtain a rating equal to or greater than 9.5 values.
