Evaluation Methodology
Continuous Assessment: This will be carried out through group work, weighted at 70% of the final grade, and an individual test, weighted at 30%. The group work is predominantly practical and applied in nature, with the main objective of providing students with the opportunity to apply, in an integrated way, the knowledge and skills acquired throughout the curricular unit. Each group must develop a project based on a real or simulated business case, using one or more management information applications to configure and execute a set of operations representative of the organization's activity. The individual test is intended to assess the acquisition of individual knowledge, concepts and skills associated with the contents of the curricular unit.
Students will obtain approval with a grade equal to or higher than 9.5, resulting from the average of the test and the group work.
Assessment by Examination - Regular Period: Written exam. Students with a grade equal to or higher than 10 (ten) points will be considered approved in the subject.
