Teaching Methodologies

The methodological choices for the fulfillment of the program of the course will focus on three key educational components:

– Oral presentation oriented to the estimated contents;

– Study and presentation of reference examples;

– Development of practical work, under the guidance of the teacher.

EVALUATION METHODS

The evaluation on the curricular unit will, at the option of the student, of the following modalities:

– Continuous evaluation;

– Exam.

The evaluation in those modalities will obey criteria that will be explained in the statements and/or oyher elements presented, according to the following components and weights:

CONTINUOUS EVALUATION

– Presencial Participation – weight of 20%;  

– Individual Project (contents 4.1) – weight of 25%.

– Individual test (contents 4.2 to 4.7) – weight of 55%.

EXAM

The syllabus domain – weight of 70% in the overall evaluation;

Technical communication skills – weight of 30% in the overall evaluation.
