Objectives
Objectives
The objectives of the CU are to provide students with knowledge and skills that allow them to perform functions in the area of information technology applied to management. The knowledge to be covered ranges from how various types of information are stored on the computer, the various types of software licenses, spreadsheets, databases, programming, and project management. In spreadsheets, students learn practical skills for analysing data and making informed decisions. In databases, they learn to consult databases, providing a solid basis for manipulating information in business contexts. In programming, they develop automation skills to interact with spreadsheets or databases. And finally, in project management, students learn project planning, execution and control practices, preparing them to deal with real projects.

Teaching methodologies
Teaching methodologies
The classes are theoretical-practical, with the theoretical subjects being taught using presentations and practical subjects being taught through exemplification. The professor shows how to use the tools, gives enlightening examples of real interest, and then poses challenges/problems to which the students, in groups, work to present appropriate solutions. At the end of each group of subjects, the students also do mini-works related to the respective topics and which count towards the assessment. This approach is due to the fact that, given the contents and objectives of the UC, for the students to gain skills in management support tools, there is a strong practical component. With group work, the students are expected to simultaneously develop team spirit, critical thinking, and constructive feedback. All assessment elements carried out on computer must be delivered through the Moodle platform.
