Teaching methodologies and assessment
Teaching methodologies and assessment
Theoretical classes (power point presentations, previously made available) for presentation and debate of theoretical concepts and case studies; practical sessions consisting of laboratory work and analysis and discussion of case studies. In this context, students work on practical cases to solve real-world problems. In solving and analyzing the work, students also use knowledge acquired in other courses, promoting collaborative learning. Students encouraged to study content at home using a variety of devices and platforms, including mobile devices, before class for later class discussion and group work
Continuous evaluation
Practice: reports and written work, minimum 10 points
Theoretical: two frequencies or a global final frequency, minimum average of 10 values, or minimum of 10 values, respectively.
Final grade: theoretical 60% practical 40% (30% reports + 10% work)
Exam
final written exam
