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%).
