Evaluation Methodology:
The CU is composed of theoretical-practical sessions and tutorial support sessions. There will be a permanent concern to establish bridges with concrete reality, with real world cases and problems to demonstrate the pertinence, timeliness and usefulness of all concepts, formulations and models taught in the CU. The students will always be asked for a direct intervention in the discussion of theoretical problems and their practical implications. The organization of the class will be promoted in groups, each of which will produce a theoretical work on a theme to be attributed, which will be opportunely exposed to the class. The continuous assessment method will be followed, based on the assessment of the work carried out by the students throughout the course, both in the form of theoretical work and its exposition, as well as in the form of participation in classes. However, an individual final exam of knowledge assessment will be held. Evaluation: - Written works: 50% - Frequency: 50%
