Evaluation Methodology:
Overall, some of the planned teaching methods will be developed exposure of the syllabus, the questioning and discussion of them, the resolution of specific questions, either in class or in tutorial guidance sessions, either by mail, the exercises with presentation of specific solutions and making individual or group of worksheets. Homework may be required and implementing individual and collective exercise systematic language, the field of Portuguese syntax. The final classification of the course will result from the average of the values obtained in the two evaluation moments (weighing 50% each): the first is a frequency and the second (depending on the number of students in the class) will be either a presentation or a frequency. The Appeal Exam of the Complementary Period will serve to recover the worst negative classification obtained, if there are two frequencies, or the frequency, if there is one presentation (work) and one frequency.
