Métodos de Ensino e Avaliações

The course is taught in theoretical-practical classes that combine expository moments that aim to provide a general framework of the subject and practical moments that are intended for the application and clarification of students' doubts. There are lecture handouts and summaries of the topics covered in each class to which the students have access in advance. The lecturer covers the main topics and focuses in those that are usually more difficult. The exercises to be solved are also made available in advance and they cover all the topics in the course outline. In each exercise it is made clear the topic that is being covered. Most classes take place in the lab where it is simulated the use of methods and statistical packages. Assessment in this course weights highly work performed in classes considering participation, exercises solved and reports presented both individually and in groups. In the final grade, this component weights 50% in the final mark.
