The course will develop in two forms: - a theoretical (two-hour weekly) where underlie and discuss different topics proposed in the program; - a practical component where the student learn to identify and solve real problems within UC objectives and also dimension/project unit operations and processes which are on the basis of conventional treatment systems.
Evaluation method
The evaluation is performed by 2 Mini-tests with duration of 60 min. The mini tests count 45% (each) for the final classification.
The curriculum unit to be completed provides the need of the student be present in at least two-thirds of practical classes, and two-thirds of TPC. Condition required to obtain frequency. The TPC contribute 10% to the final classification.
The final classification results from the weighted average of the mini-tests and TPC.
If the student go to exam, the final grade is the grade obtained in the exam.
