Teaching method
Face-to-face teaching.
Lectures on the board and application examples.
Resolution of exercises and application examples - TP classes.
Six practical classes, involving 4 different laboratory works.
Evaluation method
Método de avaliação:
- 75% theoretical component
- 25% practical component
- Minumum evaluation 9,5 val at both components
Evaluation of the theoretical component:
- 2 tests
Minimum grade in tests 8 values. Final weighted average greater than or equal
to 9.5 values.
Practical component evaluation:
1 - Mandatory presence in all laboratory classes -
2 - It is mandatory to have a laboratory notebook.
Quantitative evaluation of the practical component -
Arithmetic mean of 4 mini-tests. Minimum grade in each is 9.5 values.
