Teaching Methodologies
TP contents are developed through expository methods, flipped classroom, and problem/project-based learning. PL contents are presented through demonstration, observation/correction, experimentation/reflection, field trips, and cooperative and collaborative learning.
This eminently practical curricular unit will be taught exclusively by continuous assessment [100% = 20 points] considering the following items:
1) TP assessments (40%)
2) PL assessments (60%)
Under point 8 of article 13 of the Academic Regulations of the 1st Cycle of Studies of the ESE-IPC, the student must comply with the following specific conditions for accessing the exam: having participated in the mountaineering field trip, having a minimum classification of 30% on item 2).
The exam will consist exclusively of a TP test (100%).
