 Oxford University Press

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.
