Métodos de ensino e atividades de aprendizagem

The teaching methodology is essentially based on theoretical-practical classes and laboratories. It is intended that students directly apply the knowledge they acquire and at the same time stimulate creativity and reasoning with real challenges. Additionally, students have extra-class support, made through the Moodle platform, Zoom, Teams and others.

Obtenção de frequência

The student may opt for continuous assessment or examination.
To pass the course, the student must have:
Test/Exam Grade >=10 values (out of twenty);
Practical Component Score >=10 values (out of twenty).

If you choose continuous assessment, the student will take A) two tests throughout the semester and B) practical component.

A) Each test will be divided into a practical component carried out on a computer and another carried out on paper. The tests will be carried out during the class hours of the discipline and are worth 50% of the final grade of the discipline.
B) The practical component of the course will consist of 4 evaluated laboratories (5% of the final grade/each=20%) and a final project (30%) that will be evaluated in 2 phases throughout the semester.


If you want to be assessed by exam, you will take the test in Regular Season and/or Season of Appeal.
A) Exam (70%);
B) Final project (30%).

Fórmula de cálculo da classificação final

Continuous evaluation:

• Laboratories (20% of final grade):




• Evaluated Laboratories: 4. (5% each). Groups of 2. There is no minimum score.




• Tests:  >= 10. (50% of the final grade).




• T1 – Test 1 is worth 40% of the test scores (50% practice + 50% writing);


• T2 – Test 2 is worth 60% of the test scores (50% practice + 50% writing).




• Project: Final project grade >= 10 (30% of final grade).




• P1 >= 8;


• P2 >= 8;


• End: (P1*1/3 + P2*2/3) >=10.


• Final grade for Laboratories + Project (0..20) >=10.

Exam evaluation:

• Project (30%) - Grade (0..20) >= 10.


• Exam (70%) - Final Score (0..20) >=10.
