Teaching Methodologies
The course will be developed according to a theoretical-practical model with structured exposition of the contents and related analysis and discussion or debate.
Students will be evaluated through written assignment, about contents taught on subject and a written test, consisting of questions that evaluate the extent and depth of the theoretical knowledge acquired in the course and the ability of practical application of that knowledge to everyday situations and to particular scientific area.
The approval in the subject is achieved with a greater than, or equal to, 10 marks (scale 0-20), resulting from the sum of the marks obtained in the written work and in the test, weighted, respectively, with 20% and 80 %. The classification in each (assignment and test) can not be less than 9.5.
The assessment can also be done through a written exam with identical structure of the test during times designated for that purpose.
