• MetodologiaMethodology

  The contact hours will be theoretical and practical in nature, with the syllabus content being presented using illustrative examples of the topics covered, whenever possible. In this sense, the use of the expository method should be combined with the interrogative and active methods, using the PBL (problem-based learning) methodology, in order to stimulate discussion and critical analysis of the syllabus content and thus promote understanding and knowledge acquisition. Assessment will be based on a theoretical-practical exercise to be developed individually. It will be based on the following weightings: •    Attendance and participation: 30% of the final mark; •    Theoretical-practical exercise: 70% of the final mark.
