Métodos de ensino e atividades de aprendizagem

The teaching methodology uses the expository method of the syllabus, with the support of the online Teams and Zoom tool to complement the classes, by referring examples, practical cases studies and the resolution of exercises to the student better understand the concepts and apply it in practice.

 The FPPC CU has a laboratory component carried out through online video simulation of work, with data available for students to make reports. It is intended with this practical component, to illustrate the theoretical concepts transmitted and to develop in students:

(1) the ability to experiment and apply the scientific method.

(2) “know-how” skills associated with the acquisition of technical laboratory knowledge.

(3) exploration of scientific data and monitoring platforms.

(4) data analysis.

(5) teamwork; and

(6) development of critical thinking and interpretation of experimental results.

 All the material for the classes and textbooks is provided on the Moodle platform. The way in which the teaching methodology of the FPPC CU is developed to allow the students to achieve great success in the curricular unit (asynchronous methodology).
