Teaching method

Classes are theoretical/practical with oral presentation of concepts and results together with their proofs and complemented with examples and applications. A list of exercises that includes several theoretical problems is provided to the students to be solved independently. Specific student difficulties will be addressed during classes or in individual sessions scheduled with the professor. Continuous evaluation is based on two tests. If a student does not obtain approval through continuous evaluation, he can try it in an additional assessment.

Evaluation method

The evaluation is a mark between 0 and 20 values and the student passes if the final mark is above or equal to 9,5.

There are two evaluation items:

1) a mid-term test (corresponding to 50% of the final mark);
2) a second test at the end of the classes period (corresponding to 50% of the final mark).

If the student fails in the continuous evaluation, the student must pass an exam. More detailed rules are available in the portuguese version.
