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 (Tests)
- 25% practical component (Lab Classes and Mini-tests)
- Minumum evaluation of 9,5 (out of 20) at both components
Evaluation of the theoretical component:
- 2 tests
Final weighted average greater than, or equal,
to 9.5 values.
Practical component evaluation:
Students will be organized in groups of 2, but the evaluation is individual.
1 - Mandatory presence in ALL laboratory classes.
If a student does not attend all lab classes, the student will not be evaluated.
2 - It is mandatory to have a laboratory notebook.
The individual lab notebook is a mandatory item for lab classes.
Quantitative evaluation of the practical component -
Arithmetic average of 4 mini-tests. Minimum grade in each is 9.5 values.
