Métodos de ensino e atividades de aprendizagem

The teaching methods include lecture classes, based on a expository technique in the classroom with the aim of transfer concepts, definitions and mechanisms of interpretation of the problems. With the theoretical lessons it is intended to provide students the knowledge to the pursuit of the course objetives.
The teaching methods also include practical classes that follow a strategy to solve problems or a group work, individually or in groups of students, with the monitoring of the teacher. With the practical classes it is intended that the student acquires the competence to understand, describe and relate the knowledge.
The system of evaluation allows assessing if the skill of knowledge integration was attained.
