Teaching Methods
Throughout the teaching sessions of a collective nature, a detailed presentation will be made of the defined syllabus contents and a dialogue will be reinforced with the students about the importance of using the acquired knowledge.
Given the eminently practical and instrumental nature of the subjects, an operational approach will be privileged, based on the resolution of practical cases linked to the evaluation of the performance of projects/organizations and the design and implementation of dashboards. These teaching approaches are suitable for increasing the knowledge acquired by students, from a learning-by-doing perspective.
In order to increase contact and interactivity with the students and as a way to make available the materials to support the contents distributed during the semester, the teachers will use permanently the e-learning platform of the University of Évora (Moodle).

Assessment
In the continuous assessment regime, the final grade of the course will result from the weighted average of two individual assignments and a group project, with the following weightings:
Work #1 - 20%
Work #2 - 20%
Group Project - 60%
Students that do not do continuous evaluation, can carry out the final project individually with a weight of 100%.
