Teaching methodologies
Teaching methodologies
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: theory 60% + practice 40% (30% reports + 10% work), written part 40%, discussion 60% Exam final written exam

Avaliação na componente prática baseada nos relatórios dos trabalhos experimentais e num trabalho escrito, ambos com discussão necessitando de uma classificação não inferior a 10 valores para aprovação. Avaliação da componente teórica: duas frequências ou uma frequência final global durante o semestre, necessitando de uma média não inferior a 10 valores (ou classificação não inferior a 10 valores na frequência global) para aprovação. Caso não consiga aprovação por frequência, o aluno submete-se a exame final, necessitando de uma classificação não inferior a 10 valores para aprovação. Nota final da cadeira resulta da média ponderada da componente teórica (60%) e 40% (30% relatórios+10% trabalho) da componente prática. Nesta componente prática, atribui-se à parte escrita 40%, e à discussão 60%. Prova oral prevista em caso de suspeita ou evidência de qualquer tipo de fraude.
Practical assessment based on experimental work reports and a written assignment, both with discussion, requiring a grade of at least 10 to pass. Theoretical assessment: two tests or one final test during the semester, requiring an average of at least 10 (or a grade of at least 10 in the final test) to pass. If the student fails to pass the test, they must take a final exam, requiring a grade of at least 10 to pass. The final grade for the course is the weighted average of the theoretical component (60%) and 40% (30% reports + 10% work) of the practical component. In this practical component, 40% is attributed to the written part and 60% to the discussion. An oral exam is scheduled in case of suspicion or evidence of any type of fraud.
