Programação para a Internet II

Development for the web (client-side): HTML, CSS, JavaScript; Data bases; Notions of object-oriented programming.

The following teaching methodologies are used in this course unit:

1. Expository method: explanatory method where theoretical foundations and concepts are presented by the teacher and discussed with the class. Concepts and information will be presented to students through, for example, slide presentations or oral discussions. It will be used in classes to structure and outline the information.

2. Demonstrative method: based on the example given by the teacher of a technical or practical operation that one wishes to be learned. It focuses on how a given operation is carried out, highlighting the most appropriate techniques, tools and equipment. It will be used, for example, in practical and laboratory classes.

3. Interrogative method: process based on verbal interactions, under the direction of the teacher, adopting the format of questions and answers. It allows for greater dynamics in the classroom and consolidates learning. It will be used, for example, to remember elements of previous classes and in revisions of the lectured content.

4. Active methods: pedagogical techniques will be used in which the student is the center of the learning process, being an active participant and involved in his own training. The teacher assumes the role of facilitator, stimulating critical thinking, collaboration, creativity and student autonomy. They will be applied in classes to achieve a dynamic and more lasting learning environment.

Periodic evaluation

• tests (3 practical + 1 theoretical) - 80.0%
• assignments - 20.0%

Evaluation by exam (normal and resit)

• exam (practical part + theoretical part) - 80.0%
• assignment - 20.0%

All assessment elements are mandatory and have a minimum grade of 40% of their score.

The rules also apply to students who have working student status (and similar).

If there are reasonable grounds for suspicion of academic fraud, detected during the correction of assessment elements (tests, assignments, exams, etc.), students may be asked to give an oral presentation to clarify the facts.

Even if there are no suspicions of academic fraud, students may still be called upon to give an oral presentation to clarify any doubts that may exist.

These oral presentations will be eliminatory in nature.
