Métodos de ensino e atividades de aprendizagem
The discipline is organized in theoretical-practical modules. In the modules there will be different types of theoretical-practical presentations related to the themes under analysis, demonstrations, group work, examples, case studies, practical exercises and continuous assessment.
The pedagogical methods and techniques that will be used are: expository method (with audiovisual support), demonstrative, interrogative, active methods, reinforcement contingency methods, experimental methods with simulation exercises. In practical classes, practical work will be developed, in order to confirm the knowledge acquired in theoretical-practical classes.
The evaluation methodology includes a summative component and a formative component. The summative component will include the completion of 2 tests or final exam and in the formative the following aspects will be valued, among others: participation in classes; development of autonomous work, problem solving, preparation of laboratory work, answering questions posed by the teacher and carrying out other works.

Obtenção de frequência
The final grade is calculated according to the following formula: NF=0.6*EF+0.2*LAB+0.2*MPDSA; EF- average classification of the 2 tests or the classification in the final exam; LAB- laboratory classification (minimum 10 points); MP- classification in the mini-project (minimum 10 points). In the case of assessment by exam, the grade of the EF component corresponds to the classification obtained in this test, and, as mentioned, attendance and approval in the laboratory and MP component are mandatory for approval in the UC.
Fórmula de cálculo da classificação final
The final grade is calculated according to the following formula:
NF=0.7*EF/T+0.1*LAB/DSA+0.2*MN, where:
EF/T- average classification of the 2 continuous assessment tests or classification in the final exam; LAB- individual laboratory classification; DSA- classroom performance (includes preparation and execution of laboratory work and the respective preparation); LAB- group laboratory classification.
In the case of assessment by exam, the grade of the EF/T component corresponds to the classification obtained in this test, although attendance and approval in the laboratory component and the execution of the mini-project are mandatory for approval at the UC.
Melhoria de classificação
Once approved in continuous assessment, the student will only be able to improve their grade during the appeal period.
