Teaching method
The UC consists of a theoretical component (2h) and a practical component (3h / shift, 2 shifts). In the theoretical classes, the concepts listed in the program are presented with the resource to PowerPoint, videos, educational materials/objects, and debates. In laboratory classes, practical work is carried out, including demonstration of methodologies and the use of various equipment.
Evaluation method
This UC has frequency, that is, a set of conditions to be met by the student in order to pass the UC and access the Appeal Exam:
- minimum grade of 9.5 in the theoretical and practical component;
- presence in at least 2/3 of the practical classes;
- delivery of the individual report
Theoretical component (NT): 2 multiple choice tests (T1 and T2) and 1 or 2 development questions. The Theoretical Score (TN) is given by the average of the two tests, 50% each. NT = 0.5xT1 + 0.5xT2
Practical component: Individual Written Report (Rel) and practical exercise of photographic acquisition in studio, in group (ExerPrático). The Practical Grade (NP) is given by the average of (Rel) and (ExerPrát). NP = 0.5xRel + 0.5xPractical Exercise. In case of failure in the theoretical component, the grade of the practical component is valid for a maximum period of 2 years.
Final Grade = 0.5xNT + 0.5xNP
Attention: Deliveries of evaluation elements with more than 3 days of delay are not accepted and up to 3 days, each day of delay corresponds to a penalty of 0.5 values.
The exam only replaces the theoretical component grade (NT).
When taking any test, they must also take into account the provisions of paragraph 3 of article 10 of the FCT NOVA Assessment Regulations, “When fraud or plagiarism is proven in any of the assessment elements of a CU, students directly involved are outright disapproved in the UC, (…).”
