Métodos de ensino e atividades de aprendizagem

The classes are theoretical/practical in which the teaching methodology adopted for this CU is the projection of slides with key information about each chapter accompanied by illustrative diagrams and images that help in the information integration. Whenever possible the lectured contents will be illustrated with real examples and case studies that will allow students to better internalize the concepts learned. It is planned a study visit which will contribute for the consolidation of lectured subjects.

Evaluation: Students can opt for continuous assessment by conducting 2 tests (50% each) or Final Exam with 100% weight in the final assessment.
