Métodos de ensino e atividades de aprendizagem
[Conditioned to the oppening of presential lesson groups]
Classes are theoretical-practical where the fundamental concepts of the different subjects of the program are presented and some exercises that illustrate the topics are solved. Then students will carry out, under the guidance of the teacher, a set of exercises that will allow them to obtain an understanding of the topics covered.
Central notions are introduced with a rigorous mathematical language, and its properties are analysed, identifying the most relevant results regarding them, with the help of examples and counter-examples. Solving of exercises, first by direct application of the studied properties, and later by extension of these ideas to a broader areas, will simplify illustrate and solve any doubts among the students about the meaning of these objects and its properties.
Proposal of practical exercises for the students to solve outside of the classroom and the presentation of these resolutions within the classroom allows to fix the adquired knowledge.
Tools for the lesson: Whiteboard, Computer with projector, visual teaching environments (Moodle/Teams), Lesson Notes and Exercise collection.

Students have two systems for evaluation: continuous evaluation or evaluation by exam.
CONTINUOUS EVALUATION (conditioned to the existence of presential lesson groups)
Continuous evaluation assumes a compulsory presence in at least 75% ot presential lessons and consists on the execution of 4 Mini-tests (open answer questions)
Taking as MT1, MT2, MT3, MT4 the Mini-test results (evaluated from 0 to 5 points, rounded to the decimal point), the final score FS (rounded to units) is computed as follows:
FS = MT1 + MT2 + MT3 + MT4.
Conditions to obtain positive evaluation are:
If FS is greater or equal 10 and lower than 18, the student has positive evaluation with FS as final score, provided that MT1+MT2 and MT3+MT4 are both greater or equal to 3.5 points.
In the case that the student doesn't have positive evaluation due to conditions indicated on (1.), he/she may choose to take an alternative exam to improve the lowest of the results MT1+MT2 or MT3+MT4, provided that one of these sums is equal or greater than 3.5 points.
EVALUATION BY EXAM
Students that don't reach a positive result in the continuous evaluation may take an exam, with results in the inteber scale between 0 and 20 points, and where the positive evaluation is for those students that get 10 or more points.
In any of these evaluation systems, if the final score is greater or equal 18, the student will be subject to an additional oral exam. The final score in this case will be the mean of the written and oral evaluations. If the student does not attend the oral exam, its final score will be 17 points.
Fórmula de cálculo da classificação final
FS = MT1 + MT2 + MT3 + MT4.
FS - Final score (integer values range 0-20)
MT1 - Mini-test 1 score (values range 0-5 rounded to decimal point)
MT2 - Mini-test 2 score (values range 0-5 rounded to decimal poi3t)
MT3 - Mini-test 3 score (values range 0-5 rounded to decimal point)
MT4 - Mini-test 4 score (values range 0-5 rounded to decimal point)
Avaliação especial (TE, DA, ...)
Working Students, higher competition athletes, student associations leaders and students demanding application of Religious Freedom Laws should contact the Curricular Unit Responsible teacher on this subject, no later than two weeks after the start of the teaching activities, indicating the corresponding specific circumstances, as declared by the corresponding norms. The timely application is needed so that the corresponding measures can be applied, with the needed objective conditions.
