Métodos de ensino e atividades de aprendizagem

In theoretical-practical classes, theoretical concepts are illustrated and apply through exercises. Laboratory work aims at the same goal. Students elaborate a theoretical written work subordinated to item 5 of the program - marine pollution - and present it to the class (preferably in English). Laboratory work in accordance with the protocols provided and elaborate their questionnaire and / or report.

Obtenção de frequência

In order to pass the course, a minimum grade of 9.5 points is required for the laboratory practice component and a minimum grade of 9.5 points for the theoretical component.

Final Grade = 65% theoretical grade + 35% laboratory grade

Theoretical Component
It can be carried out by continuous assessment (1) or final exam (2)
5% - assiduity
5% - presentation of environmental news (grade from 1 to 5)
55% - test average

(1) Continuous assessment: 70% minimum attendance -> 2 tests. In the 1st exam period, the student can make the recovery of one of the tests (or exam if you prefer)

(2) Final Exam: 1st season and Appeal

Practical Component (Laboratory)
- Can only be performed by continuous assessment: mandatory attendance.
- The evaluation is made by the assignements, reports/questionnaires/posters delivered within the stipulated deadlines as well as 1 oral discussion of reports (grade from 1 to 5, later converted from 1 to 20, max. 20% lab grade).
Comments:
- there is 1 recap class to complete missing work, the absence of a data processing class implies the delivery of an individual report with a set of data provided by the teacher
- each day of delay in the report delivery deducts 1 value
- extra/optional: the performance of 1 volunteering action in the area of ​​the course is valued (corresponds to the equivalent of an extra report, with a classification of 20 values ​​that enters the average of the practical component).

The Professor reserves the right to, in specific or general cases, carry out an EXTRA oral test on theoretical or laboratory subjects, with the final grade of the component being: 50% oral test + 50% written elements (tests, exams or reports). The oral test will be carried out in the presence of at least two teachers.

Fórmula de cálculo da classificação final

In order to pass the course, a minimum grade of 9.5 values is required for the laboratory practice component and a minimum grade of 9.5 values for the theoretical component.

Final Grade = 65% theoretical grade + 35% laboratory grade

Melhoria de classificação

In second season exam

Observações

For students who intend to carry out continuous assessment, theoretical-practical classes (TP) have a mandatory attendance of 70%.

Laboratory classes are mandatory, with a recap class at the end of the semester to complete (1) any missing work.

The Environmental Analysis course has 6 ECTS, corresponding to 150 h. The course has a total of 5 hours per week, 75 hours of classes per semester. The remaining 75 hours are devoted to the preparation of reports, questionnaires and posters, study for tests or final exam.

-Clarification of Doubts (Ana Mata, F104): Thursday, 14h30, presencial or by Teams.
IMPORTANT: Students who wish to clarify doubts should send an email or contact Teams to the teacher (ana.mata@estsetubal.ips.pt) until the day before.

- Support materials (slides, laboratory protocols, etc.) can be found on Moodle and/or Teams.

-The use of cell phones during classes is prohibited, unless expressly indicated by the teacher.

-Working Students, High-Competition Athletes, Associative Directors and Students under the Religious Freedom Law must send an email to the Teacher by the second week of the semester, to present their relevant specifics, under the terms provided for in the respective diplomas.
