Teaching Methods
The methodological options leading to the fulfillment of the curricular unit program will focus on the following pedagogical strategy:

• Oral presentation focused on the expected contents;
• Development of works under teaching guidance.

Assessment Methods
The assessment in the curricular unit will take place, at the student’s option, in the following modalities:

• Continuous evaluation;
• Exam.

The evaluation in those modalities will obey criteria that will be explained in the statements and/or other elements presented, according to the following components and weights:

Continuous Evaluation

• Exercise 1 – 40% in the global assessment;
• Exercise 2 – 60% in the global assessment.

Exam

• Practical component – 100% weight in the overall assessment of the exam.
