Evaluation Methodology:
The curricular unit has continuous assessment and final frequency taking into account the following elements and their respective weights: - Periodic evaluation: - Group work (50% of final grade - minimum 8 points). - Frequency: written test (50% of the final grade - minimum 8 points). Note: The practical work is not recoverable, so students who fail the frequency in the normal season can only recover 50% (relative to the frequency in the resource), keeping the note regarding the practical work. Students who did not do the practical work will be able to attend the appeal frequency, however the grade obtained only contributes 50% to the final grade.
