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 of 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.

Fórmula de cálculo da classificação final

Continuous assessment:

CF = 60% Test 1 + 10% Regular Exercise + 10% Work 1 + 10% Work 2 + 10% Work 3.

- The Test is performed individually and mandatory delivery. The test has a minimum grade of 8.

- The Regular Exercise are tests carried out in the classroom, in groups of 3-4 students and optionally delivered. The student has 0 values ​​in case of non-delivery.

- Work 1 is a report of a practical laboratory activity and prepared in a group of 3-4 students and mandatory delivery.

- Work 2 is a species poster, prepared in a group of 3-4 students (included in the Eco Escolas project | “A Biodiversidade e Geodiversidade da Minha Escola”) and mandatory delivery.

- The Work 3 focuses on performance in the laboratory, organization of the laboratory notebook, and preparation of laboratory classes.


Exam (all periods):

CF = 70% Exam + 10% Work 1 + 10% Work 2 + 10% Work 3

The exam has a minimum grade of 9.

Curricular Unit under Exceptional Regime: 100% exam-based evaluation not applicable
