Métodos de ensino e atividades de aprendizagem

The teaching methodology goes through theoretical-practical classes in which the fundamentals will be taught using the expository method. In these classes, the individual work methodology will also be used, where students will carry out various works inrelation to the practical application of the concepts of ruin and material degradation in the biomedical area.
In this UC there will be laboratory work where students will have to establish test protocols and carry out various in-vitro experiments.
TP classes will be taught at a distance using the MS-Teams remote collaboration platform, while PL classes will be taught in person.

Fórmula de cálculo da classificação final

Final Grade = (individual assignments average)x0.6 + (laboratory assignments average)x0.4

Provas e trabalhos especiais

In regular or appeal periods, it is possible to replace the grade of the individual assignments with a written exam, with the same weight in the final average.
