Métodos de ensino e atividades de aprendizagem

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 a deeper understanding of the topics under consideration.

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 broader areas, eanbles the identification and resolution of doubts the students may have 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 secure the adquired knowledge.

Tools for the lesson: Whiteboard, Computer with projector, virtual teaching environments (Moodle/Teams), Lesson Notes and Exercise collection.

Students have two systems for evaluation: continuous evaluation or evaluation by exam.  

 

CONTINUOUS EVALUATION  

Continuous evaluation assumes a compulsory presence in at least 75% ot presential lessons, for students of 1st inscription in the 1st year, and consists on the execution of 2 tests and 1 minitest (open answer questions)

Taking as T1, T2 the test results (evaluated from 0 to 8 points, rounded to the decimal unit), and MT3 the mini-test result (evaluated from 0 to 4 points, rounded to the decimal unit), the final score FS (rounded to units) is computed as follows:  

 

FS = T1 + T2 + MT3.  

 

Conditions to obtain positive evaluation are:  

1. If FS is greater than or equal to 10 and lower than 18, the student has positive evaluation with FS as final grade, provided that T1 and T2 are both greater than or equal to 2.5 points. 
2. 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 T1 or T2, provided that one of these  is greater than or equal to 2.5 points.
3. If FS is greater than or equal to 18, the student must do an oral test. The final grade will be the average of these two grades. If the student does not attend the oral test, the final grade will be 17 values.

 

EVALUATION BY EXAM  

 

Students that don't reach a positive result in the continuous evaluation may take an exam, with results in the integer 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 grade 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 = T1 + T2 + MT3.  

FS - Final score (integer values range 0-20)

T1 - test 1 score (values range 0-8 rounded to decimal unit)

T2 - test 2 score (values range 0-8 rounded to decimal unit)

MT3 - Mini-test 3 score (values range 0-4 rounded to decimal unit)

Avaliação especial (TE, DA, ...)

Workers, top-level athletes, association leaders and students under the Law of Religious Freedom must present to the Head of the curricular unit their relevant specificities until the second week of the semester, in accordance with the respective diplomas, under penalty of being unable to be executed for lack of objective conditions.

Melhoria de classificação

As indicated in 11th article of "Regulamento das Atividades Académicas e Linhas Orientadoras de Avaliação de Desempenho Escolar dos Estudantes do IPS", the option to improve the avaliaton results may occur in the same year of inscription through the "Época de Recurso" Exam, or in the next year following  the positive avaliation of the curricular unit, using any of the regular avaliation processes, except for the "Época Especial" exams.

Observações

• Each test has a duration of 90 minutes, the mini-test has a duration of 45 minutes; The alternative exam has 90 minutes, and the exam is 2 hours and 30 minutes.  


• In all evaluation processes the presentation of an ID with photo is compulsory.


• In all written exams student may consult an specific formula sheet provided by the teachers.


• The use or merely reaching for any electronic devices during the evaluation proofs is forbidden.


• In case of fraud suspicion or other circumstance that leads to the need to assess the knowledge evidenced in the resolution of a test or exam, the student may be called to a session, in person, which will focus only on that knowledge. If the student does not attend this session, without due justification, the test or exam will be considered invalid.
