Teaching Methodologies

The evaluation will respect the established in the Internal Regulations of the Escola Superior de Educação, so students can choose one of the following modalities: evaluation of attendance or evaluation by exam.

 In the case of opting for evaluation by exam, the final exam is carried out at the end of the semester, dealing with all the syllabus taught and summarized. It will be presented in the form of a written test (without consultation). The final exam will have a weight of 100%.

 If they opt for continuous assessment, this will be based on the permanent involvement and quality of the trainees participation in individual and/or group activities and in carrying out a work (40%) and an assessment test (60%).

 Considering the theoretical-practical nature of this curricular unit, theoretical exposition, group work and individual work will be used, as well as classes managed by students, valuing their participation and involvment in the construction of their learning.
