Métodos de Ensino e Avaliações

The course will be taught following a “learn by doing” approach. First, students will participate in the experiment on that week’s discussion topic and will solve a lab report. The behaviour of the experiment, the lab results, and the underlying theories will be then discussed in the class. Besides the experiments, which will last approximately an hour, students will have the opportunity to construct and manage a simulated investment portfolio. Students will work on a final project which consists of a design of an experiment. The evaluation is done as follows: - Lab reports: 35% - Group Experimental Design Project: 20% - Attendance to classes and experiments and class participation: 10% - Final Exam: 35%.
