Teaching Methods
Students will be encouraged to develop knowledge, reflection, questioning and continuous analysis, in the sense of knowing, knowing how and knowing how to do in a simulated context. The theoretical component will be taught using active methodologies, which encourage interaction between the teacher and students. The practical component will be taught in the laboratory using simulation as a learning strategy, using scenarios in a controlled environment, in which the student has to know how to do it and know how to do it. The theoretical component will be assessed through a written test, corresponding to 50% of the curricular unit's assessment, with a minimum grade of 9.5. The practical component can have two evaluation moments, corresponding to 50% of the curricular unit's evaluation, minimum grade in this component, 9.5.
