Teaching methodologies
Teaching methodologies
Expository/interrogative method; development of assignments and challenges using bibliographic research. The assignments to be developed aim to apply and amplify acquired knowledge, reflection and discussion, stimulating debate and creativity. Continuous assessment with student attendance in at least 70% of classes, completion of group work with written and oral presentations, prioritizing debate. Attendance is required (minimum grade 9.5). The assignments developed will account for 60% of the assessment and attendance 40%.

A nota mínima da frequência é de 9 valores. A nota final ponderada tem de ser igual ou superior a 9,5 valores.
Podem usar IA para pesquisa de informação mas devem sempre confrontar com fontes fidedignas e informar onde foi usada (textos, figuras, gráficos, etc).
Em momentos presenciais de avaliação (escrita ou prática: frequências, teste global, exame) NÃO É PERMITIDO o uso destas ferramentas e se o aluno copiar ou utilizar a IA, a prova será anulada.
Em cada teste ou exame o aluno pode ser chamado para uma prova oral, em qualquer circunstância e sem restrições, para confirmar a nota perante o docente.
