Métodos de ensino e atividades de aprendizagem

The theoretical material is presented using PowerPoint slides in a dynamic and interactive way with students, interspersed with practical application exercises to strengthen the theoretical content acquisition, acquired in theoretical/practical classes. Also, group laboratory work will be developed, where the acquired knowledge can be applied, e.g. in the synthesis and characterization of catalysts.

Material will be available for consultation on taught subjects in Moodle.

Continuous assessment:

- 2 tests, 40% each.

- 1 laboratory work: 10%.
- 1 Written work (monograph): 10%

Assessment by final exam in 1^st or 2^nd call (100%).
