IT for Solicitorship

The classes for this curricular unit are of a theoretical-practical nature.
The syllabus content is taught through the presentation of theory, followed by the demonstration of its application through practical
examples, and finally, students solve exercises on the topics covered.
To achieve this, slides, instructional videos, and spreadsheets with practical exercises are used.
In presenting any topic from the syllabus, the expository methodology is first employed, where the teacher solves exercises, followed by the
interrogative methodology in which students are encouraged to ask and answer questions about these exercises.
At a later stage, the active methodology is prioritized, with encouragement for students to independently solve exercises, complemented by
knowledge sharing among students.

The current technological society imposes constant competitiveness challenges, both in academia and in the workplace. In these contexts,
proficiency in Information and Communication Technologies is a determining factor in the preparation and selection of future graduates.
This curricular unit aims to equip students with skills in the use of Information Technologies, enabling them to solve various problems in the
field of Information Systems, as well as optimize tasks in this area.
