• AvaliaçãoEvaluation

  A avaliação contínua é composta pela realização de uos exercícios de avaliação direcionado para a componente teórica da unidade curricular e por um exercício prático desenvolvido no período de aulas, em grudpo. Cada um dos elementos de avaliação tem a seguinte ponderação: 1º exercício teórico 30%, 2º exercício teórico 40%e trabalho de grupo 30%. A avaliação final é orientada pelos mesmos objetivos e baseia-se num exame (100%) integrando a componente teórica e a componente prática da unidade curricular.
