Teaching Methodologies

The dynamics of the UC will be supported by eminently practical classes (PL).

The methodologies to be used make use of different strategies that essentially aim at three main aspects: planning, operationalization and conduction of training and teaching of Athletics, as a coach or teacher of the modality and, also, the proficiency in the practice of the addressed specialties;

 

Continuous or periodic assessment (AC/P) or examination (AE)

 

AC/P

In-person participation – 10%

Laboratory or field work – 60%

Test – 30%

 

To access the final assessment by exam, students must obtain a minimum of 35% points in laboratory or field work.

 

AE:

1. Theoretical test 50%;

2. Practical tests 50%.

Access to the practical test is subject to obtaining 7.5 points in the theoretical test.

Learning Results
