Métodos de ensino e atividades de aprendizagem

The theoretical component will be presented in expository mode using Powerpoint slides. In theoretical-practical classes, more practical aspects of the syllabus will be worked through by solving exercises. The integration of concepts will also be carried out through the elaboration of a small genetic engineering project (designing a cloning strategy with a specific objective).

Fórmula de cálculo da classificação final

Continuous assessment:
FC = 70% (average of 2 tests) + 25% (small project) + 5% participation in class

Exam(s):
FC = 100 % Exam OR 75% Exam + 25% (small project) OR 70% Exam + 25% (small project) + 5% participation in class
– the best of the options.

Minimum classification of 9 in exam and average of both tests

Provas e trabalhos especiais

The cloning project will be partially elaborated in class, as a way of contextualizing theoretical concepts and their application to solve a given problem. The evolution of the project will be monitored throughout the semester, establishing intermediate "deadlines" to complete specific stages. The scheduling of the stages to be developed in the project assumes that it is completed three weeks before the end of the semester, but will have an extended deadline for delivery until the end of the academic period.

Avaliação especial (TE, DA, ...)

For working-students that cannot participate regularly in classes, that component of continuous assessment will be substituted by the average of classification of tests.
There is no provision for any other special assessment regime, not included in those already provided for in the Regulation.
