Teaching method
The learning methodologies include an oral theme presentation by the teacher, in theoretical sessions, and its discussion and analysis during or at the presentation´s ending. The theoretical-practical sessions are dedicated to the analysis of case studies and to solve exercises/problems, in order to consolidate the acquired knowledge and the individual and group´s presentation and reasoning by the students’ proactive participation.
Evaluation method
According the FCT´s assessment rules the curricular unit has a final test with a 100% contribution to final classification. The non-approved students do a final resort exam. The curricular unit approval, continuous assessment or final exam, requires a minimum classification of 9.5 values (out of 20 values).
