Teaching Methodologies
TP contents are presented in expository sessions. The PL is consolidated with the experience of the activity and situations of pedagogical practice.
This CU, eminently practical, has the exclusively continuous assessment modality [100% = 20 values] considering the items:
1. Practical evaluations (50%).
1.1. Aqua Aerobics (25%).
1.2. Step Aerobics (25%).
2. Technical performance (15%).
3. Work (30%).
4. Presential participation (5%).
Note: for approval, the student must have a minimum of 50% in items 1 and 2, and 50% in item 3.
Under point 8 of the 13th article of the Academic Regulations of the 1st Cycle of Studies of the ESE-IPC, the student must comply with the following specific conditions for access to the exam:
1. Have attended at least 50% of classes.
The exam consists of a theoretical (30%) and a practical evaluation (70%).
Note: for approval the student must have a minimum of 50% in both, theoretical and practical.
