Teaching method
In class the expositive method is adopted to present concepts, approaches and models. Oral questions are made for stimulate the students participation, prerequisite control and knowledge assessment. Then, the experimental method is adopted. Active methods are used. Students resolve exercises and perform games in the SCM scope, with preparation in advance and final report done by team work. Projects results analysis is discussed in class.
Evaluation method
The course grading is based on a closed-book test (T) and projects in group (TGs), each one with a weighting of 30% and 50%, respectively, in the final grade.
Final Grade=0.3T+0.7TGs
To be exempted from the final exam, the student must obtain a grade equal to or greater than 9.5 in each component.
The student is excluded from the final exam if he/she is not present in at least 9 classes, and the grade of TGs does not exceed 9.5 values.
