Teaching method

Laboratory work, lectures supported by slides and problems in TP classes.

Evaluation method

Frequency in the course unit is required and continuous assessment is carried out which involves:

Continuous evaluation:

Two  tests at FCT - 1/3 of the final grade

TP classes 8 to 12 moments of distance assessment over the 13 weeks (1/3 of the final grade)

moodle tests (multiple choice or other)

exercise resolution

Laboratory  - 1/3 of the final grade (mandatory equal to or greater than 9.5 values)

Students who have acquired frequency in previous years will see the laboratory component replaced by that registered grade, which in total will have a weight of 1/3 in the final grade. If they do not take the TP component, the final test grade will be 2/3 of the grade. If justified, the test will have a second part corresponding to the TP component.
