Evaluation Methodology
The characteristics of this discipline require active participation from the student. It will be appropriate for learning assessment to be carried out on an ongoing basis. Therefore, for each of the proposed Experimental Projects, developed in class, an individual technical report will be requested. Practical work will be proposed to be solved in small groups. The final grade will result from the weighted average obtained between the individual assessment, weighing 60%, and the group work assessment, weighing 40%. The Examination tests must include a written test, with a weight of 60%, and the presentation of individual reports relating to the monitoring of Experimental Projects developed in practical classes, with a weight of 40%.
The student obtains approval for the UC, in accordance with the provisions of Points 11 and 12, of Article 11, of the IPT Academic Regulations.
The evaluation process described also applies to Student Workers and Erasmus students.

Teaching Method
A set of coherent experimental projects will be developed which, properly sequenced and related, will allow, in their development in practical classes, to learn by doing.
