Métodos de ensino e atividades de aprendizagem
The teaching methodology uses the expository method of the syllabus, with the support of slides that accompany the class, as well as examples and practical cases and the application to case studies of some parts of the subject so that the student can understand the concepts and apply them in practice if you have to develop some work in this area. It seeks to lead students to draw conclusions, guiding them in this process. In the teaching methodology, gamification will also be used.
All the material for the classes and textbooks is provided on the Moodle platform. The way in which the teaching methodology of the curricular unit is developed allows students to achieve great success in the curricular unit.

Obtenção de frequência
To obtain frequency, and approval, to the Curricular Unit, the student must obtain a final classification superior to 9.5/20.0.
Fórmula de cálculo da classificação final
The final classification (FC) is given by the following formula:
FC = 0.05xP + 0.30XT + 0.30xWW + 0.15xOP + 0.20xFW
where P is participation, T is the test, WW is the written work, OP is the oral presentation of the WW, and FW is the fieldwork.
Or by the formula: FC = 1xExam
