Teaching method

This subject will be presented in theoretical and theoretical-pratical classes. The participation of experts in a specific topic could also happen.

Evaluation method

This subject will be evaluated through the realization of 3 Tests (Minitests-MT1, MT2 and MT3) scheduled during MIEEC coordination meeting. The final classification(FC) will be the result of:

FC = 0,35*MT1+0,35*MT2+0,3*MT3

To be approved, the student must have Final Classification (FC) equal or higher than 9,5 (in 0-20 scale), and the third Test (MT3) must has a classification >= 7 values (in a 0-20 scale).
