Eletrotherapy and Physicals Agents

Teaching Methodologies

Avaliação por frequência: os alunos são avaliados através da realização de duas provas, uma escrita e outra teórico prática. A aprovação na disciplina é obtida pela média ponderada (40/60) das classificações obtidas nessas provas. Nota inferior a 9,5 valores em qualquer das provas mencionadas, obriga à realização de exame final.
Avaliação por exame final: de estrutura idêntica à das provas de frequência, durante as épocas designadas para o efeito (normal, recurso e especial). A aprovação na unidade curricular é obtida com um resultado superior ou igual a 9,5 valores.
As classificações são expressas numa escala de 0 a 20 valores
