Resultados de aprendizagem e competências

The aim is to equip the student with basic knowledge in the analysis and specification of information systems, enabling them to identify the essential informational artefacts needed to develop a project in the field of information systems. The student should possess a critical and argumentative mindset to justify decisions regarding the identification of actors, modelling of scenarios related to business processes, and defining data structures for recording relevant information. Furthermore, the student should develop strategies to conceptualise the architecture of the information system supporting the business model under analysis.

Working Methods:

• Self-study of materials with exercises to apply knowledge about the components of analysis and specification of an information system.
• Group work with the definition of roles and responsibilities in the creation of informational artefacts that substantiate the scope of the project.

Obtenção de frequência

• Project component (60%) - carried out in groups of 3 to 4 students




• Presentation and discussion in class (Analysis of progress/results achieved)


• Intermediate presentations (e.g. 10-minute Pitch)




• Theoretical component (40%) - mini-tests to assess knowledge (max. 4 mini-tests)


• Students with participation in practical classes ≥ 75%, roll call in laboratory classes


• The student is exempt from the final exam and thus approved if they obtain an overall final mark of more than 9.5 and if they obtain a mark of less than 9.5 in either of the two assessment elements.


•  The final exam will be taken by students who have opted for this system or those who have failed the continuous assessment. In the exam, the student must take a written test (theoretical component), and if they obtain a mark of less than 9.5 in the project component, they may submit an improvement to the same project.

Fórmula de cálculo da classificação final

Final Grade = 40% TP + 60% P

•  TP - In-person test
• P - Project
