Métodos de ensino e atividades de aprendizagem

In the theoretical classes, a participatory-expository teaching methodology will be employed, as well as the debate within the group of students. In the laboratory classes, students will be asked to perform an experiment in which they will have to write a report. Those classes will also have a period for discussion of the experiment with the students at the end.
