Método de Avaliação
Concepts and algorithms are presented to students in class. Students must know, understand, use, and apply the concepts, techniques, and algorithms taught through individual work. At the same time, students are challenged to understand and apply the acquired knowledge to a practical problem, as a practical work group is proposed in which a real optimization problem must be solved. The assessment comprises two components: . two group projects, which account for 60% of the total grade. . an individual written examination, which accounts for 40% of the total grade. Final classification is the weighted average of all the components. The grades range from 0 to 20. To obtain approval, the weighted average of all assessment components must be greater than or equal to 9.5, with a minimum grade of 6 for each component. Students with a final grade of 9 may be required to take an oral examination for approval. In this case, the maximum final grade will be 9.5.
