Teaching methodologies
Teaching methodologies
Active teaching methodology puts the student at the centre of the learning process. Students will carry out visits, accompanied and not accompanied by the professor, to construction sites, where they will have the opportunity to have contact with working conditions and problems associated with the implementation of safety measures in construction works. About the visits the students will make a report with an oral presentation in class, where they should critically analyze the safety measures, correctly and incorrectly implemented on site, presenting improvement measures, which will be discussed with peers in class.

Assessment
Assessment
A avaliação da unidade curricular é bipartida, compreendendo a realização de trabalhos práticos de grupo (50%) e de uma frequência (50%).
Os trabalhos práticos compreendem a realização de um relatório com apresentações intermédias ao longo das aulas e discussão.
A frequência e o exame escrito abrangerão todos os conteúdos programáticos lecionados.
Caso os estudantes reprovem na avaliação contínua, estes terão acesso ao Exame de Recurso, realizado durante a Época de Recurso, sendo a ponderação do mesmo 50% da nota, sendo os outros 50% da nota obtidos pelo relatório escrito igual ao realizado pela avaliação contínua, uma vez que este apresenta uma componente prática da avaliação.
Consideram-se aprovados os estudantes que na média da frequência e do trabalho prático obtenham um resultado maior ou igual a 9,5 valores, ou que na média do Exame de Recurso com o trabalho prático obtenham um resultado maior ou igual a 9,5 valores.
