Teaching methodologies and assessment

The discipline will be exercised by theoretical classes and theoretical-practical classes. Participation in classes will be subject to admission frequency and assessment factor. The evaluation will be based on a notebook made up of written pieces and pieces designed for prospective interpretation of the areas involved in the exercise of the project or other territory to be studied, by testing thematic contents central to the discipline program, to be identified and proposed by the student.

Continuous assessment, without final exam, based on the work done individually, implying the systematic presence of students in all classes, considering attendance at least 75% of the classes taught to be mandatory.

Considering that the development of the exercise occurs in the two academic semesters, it will be possible to conduct an appeal exam, in order to assess the performance and performance of the student's evolution throughout the development of the exercise throughout the year.
