Teaching Methodologies
3 hours of theoretical class per week, where the teacher exposes the programmatic content of discipline, using the illustration of the physical concepts presented as examples.
1 theoretical-practice class of 1 hour per week, where students proceed to the accompanied resolution of exercises of practical application formulated with the aim of clarifying and relate the subjects discussed in the theoretical component.
In-person participation (45%) through the completion of exercises, in-person attendance during the theoretical-practical matrix and its oral discussion.
Students who obtain a minimum grade of 10 (ten), rounded up, will be considered to have passed this course unit.
Continuous assessment Written test (65%) individual report (45%) through the completion of exercises, in-person attendance during the theoretical-practical matrix and its oral discussion.
Final assessment
Normal/Resit/ Special period exam: Written exam (100%)
