• MetodologiaMethodology

  The expository method is used to transmit knowledge bases but, mainly, the interrogative and active method is used for a critical analysis of shared content and an effective application of the principles of information and communication in the area of safety and health at work. The student must acquire and/or develop critical analysis and synthesis, research and written and oral communication skills. To acquire these skills, the following teaching and learning methodologies will be used: 1. Expository, to present theoretical reference frameworks; 2. Interrogatives, for question-answer interactions and for confirming and clarifying doubts; 3. Active, with analysis and resolution of cases and practical exercises and carrying out group work with tutorial guidance in class; 4. Self-study and inverted classroom, related to the student's autonomous work, whether for class preparation, written test or group practical paper.

• AvaliaçãoEvaluation

  Descrição dos instrumentos de avaliação (individuais e de grupo) ¿ testes, trabalhos práticos, relatórios, projetos... respetivas datas de entrega/apresentação... e ponderação na nota final.

  Exemplo:

  Descrição	Data limite	Ponderação
  Assiduidade e participação		10%
  Teste intermédio 1	A definir	35%
  Teste intermédio 2	A definir	35%
  Trabalho prático individual ou em grupo	A definir	20%

  * Nota mínima em cada item 7,5 valores em 20. Quem não atingir nota mínima nos elementos de avaliação indicados, tem que realizar exame sobre essa componente.

  ** Trabalho prático realizado individualmente ou em grupo de 2 a 3 pessoas.

  Avaliação por Exame:

  Os alunos que reprovarem na avaliação contínua possuem duas épocas de exame (normal e de recurso).

  Qualquer que seja a época de avaliação, considera-se que o estudante obteve aprovação à UC se tiver nota final superior ou igual a 9,5 valores.
