Teaching Methodologies
The methodological options leading to the fulfillment of the curricular unit’s program will focus on the following pedagogical strategy:
– Theoretical component – oral presentation oriented towards the foreseen contents, resorting whenever possible to multimedia resources.
– Practical component – monitoring and guidance in students’ work.
The student must guarantee a minimum presence of 40 hours of contact (classes), providing, in this condition, the right to take an exam, if he has not passed the continuous assessment.

– Continuous evaluation;
– Exam.
The evaluation in those modalities will obey criteria that will be explained in the statements and/or other elements presented, according to the following components and weights:
Continuous evaluation
– Practical assignments – 100% of the global assessment
Exam
