Métodos de ensino e atividades de aprendizagem

This curricular unit comprises a theoretical /practical component. The theoretical component is taught via a computer readable presentations of PowerPoint. The practical component includes classes in analysis of case studies or mini-projects.

The evaluation of the curricular unit may be continuous, by performing two tests during the semester (1^st test, 50%, 2^nd test, 50%). The evaluation may be composed entirely of the final exam in 1^st or 2^nd season (100%).
