Métodos de Ensino e Avaliações

The contact with the students is divided between lectures (two per week, 90 minutes each) and labs (one per week, 120 minutes long). In the lectures, we introduce the concepts and the main results, along with suggestions on how to study the material. Plenty of examples complement the presentation of the ideas. In the labs, the instructor will clarify any questions that the students might have, and selected exercises will be solved. These exercises will be taken from the recommended manual (listed in the recommended bibliography) or adapted from previous exams. The set of exercises to be covered in each lab will be announced in the lectures. The evaluation of the students will be based on written exams, according to ISEG's RGAC. If there is a week during the semester dedicated to evaluation, we may consider having a test during that week, which will be worth 50% of the final grade. For the regular exam date, students may choose to be evaluated on the remainder of the syllabus or to take an exam covering the whole syllabus. On the resit date, there will only be an exam.
