Teaching Methods
The workload is 3 hours per week of field work in cooperating schools, with two classes of 1st cycle of basis education, in cooperation with a professor of Physical Activity and Sports. However, will be undertaken not only classroom sessions for the
whole (at the beginning of the semester), as well as tutorial sessions throughout the
semester.
In the continuous assessment regime, the evaluation components are: Performance at school (70%) + Report (30%)
In the final assessment regime, the evaluation components are: Performance at school (50%) + Report (50%)
For approval the student must obtain a minimum classification of 10 values in each one of the components.
It is essential to have a 75% attendance.
The component of performance at school is common to the continuous assessment regime and the final assessment regime. Thus, during the periods of appeal, special and extraordinary, only the component of the Report can be re-evaluated (see point 8, Art.102 RAUÉ)
