Teaching Methodologies

The teaching methodologies aim to foster learning based on problem solving and projects, reinforcing the practical component, active learning, autonomous work and student accountability.

The assessment model incorporates continuous assessment in the context of active learning (laboratory work with a strong component of preparation before execution) with a weight of 50%.

The final exam evaluation has a weight of 50%.
