Teaching Methodologies
Continuous assessment. Up to 25% of hours can be taught in remote mode.
A written theoretical evaluation with the weight of 75% of the T/P matrix. The written evaluation grade must be at least 9 values;
Group work with the weight of 25% of the T/P matrix. The grade of the work must be at least 9 values;
Theoretical-practical classes will contribute in 70% of the final grade, whose classification must be at least 9.5 values;
Practical assessment will contribute in 30% of the final grade, whose classification must be at least 9.5 values.
