Métodos de ensino e atividades de aprendizagem
The adopted method essentially focuses on the learning based on the resolution of practical cases, where the subjects of the discipline are directly applied.
The learning assessment will be realized throughout the semester by docents of the teaching unit, according to the proposed curricular plan.
The assessment system of this discipline includes formative and summative assessment modalities.
The formative assessment possesses a systematic and continuous character and is object of descriptive and qualitative notation throughout the semester period.
The summative assessment, which in this case will predominantly adopt practical tests, is expressed in the scale of zero to twenty values.

Obtenção de frequência
**CP** - Practical Component
Project - 50% (2 Phases - 20% + 30%)
**CT** - Theoretical Component
Exam - 50% (2 Tests - 2 x 25%)
In each test there is a minimum grade of 7.5 and 9.5 on average
In each phase of the Project there is a minimum grade of 7.5. The weighed average of the phases of the Project has a minimum grade of 9.5
There is a minimum grade of 9.5 in the Exams (Normal and/or Regular)
Fórmula de cálculo da classificação final
The final grade (NF) is calculated according to the following formula:
CT - Theoretical Component
CP - Practical Component
NF = (CT * 50%) + (CP * 50%)
