Teaching method
The problem-solving sessions allows an immediate connection between theoretical concepts and their applicability.
In the first part of the class the theoretical concepts are introduced. The second part is complemented with problems solving in paper and computer. This way, the students have an integrated view of the topics taught, fostering critical thinking and teamwork.
The class work is supplemented with exercises. Students have additional support in their study with support material (transparencies, theoretical notes and solved tests), or with extra tutorial time.
The objectives achievement is assessed on a continuous basis or through the execution of a final exam. The evaluation components are tests, practical assignment and/or final exam.
Evaluation method
Frequency is obtained by presenting the TP.
Approval in the regular season
The evaluation in normal season consists of: 2 tests and 1 practical work to be done during the class period. Let T1 , T2 and TP be the scores obtained, respectively, in both tests and in the practical work. Let AC=0.4*T1+0.4*T2+0.2*TP be the classifications obtained at the regular season. The student is approved in the regular season if AC>=9.5
Subject matter
