Assesssment methods and criteria:

Classification Type: Quantitativa (0-20)

Evaluation Methodology:
1. Lectures; 2 Exercises; 3. Practical work in the laboratory; 4. Teamwork; 5. Presentations. An Exam to solve individually; Assessments to solve individually or in group; one Project, to solve in groups of three, with one intermediate work deliver and a final deliver with an oral presentation. There is opportunity for an appeal, on its due time, for the Exam, but not for the Project. The elements of evaluation are: Exam = 40%; Assessments:20%; Project = 50% Minimum grades: Exame - 9/20; Project - 10/20.
