Comments from the literature
Althought there is some mandatory bibliography, the material given in classes is very importante. The notation to be use in the course and the results that can be used are the ones given in the theoretical classes.
Teaching methods and learning activities
Lectures and classes: The contents of the syllabus are presented in the lectures, where examples are given to illustrate the concepts. There are also practical lessons, where exercises and related problems are solved. All resources are available for students at the unit’s web page.

Calculation formula of final grade
1. On the Normal Exam period (Época Normal), the total mark is the sum of the marks on each of 3 tests:
Test 1: This test is marked for a total of 6 points and it will take place at a date agreed upon with the students.
Test 2: This test is marked for a total of 6 points and it will take place at a date agreed upon with the students.
Test 3: This test is marked for a total of 8 points and it will take place on the date set for the exam of the Normal Exam period.
2. On the Makeup Exam Period (Época de Recurso) the total mark is obtained on an exam set for a total of 20 points.
The exam will be divided into 3 parts, allowing the students who have not yet been approved in this class to use the score they have previously obtained on one or more of the 3 tests from the Normal Exam period (Época Normal) in the corresponding part of this exam. In any of the parts, the grade which will be considered is the maximum of the grade obtained on the exam and the grade possibly obtained on the corresponding test in the Normal Exam period (Época Normal).
Special assessment (TE, DA, ...)
Any type of special student evaluation may take one of the following forms: exclusively an oral examination; an oral examination plus a written examination, the student being required to pass both of them; only a written examination. The option for one of them is the sole responsibility of the professors in charge of the course.
Observations
Article 13 of General Regulations for Student Evaluation at the levels of First Cycle, Integrated Masters, and Second Cycle at U.Porto: "Fraud committed during an exam, in any form, implies the annulment of the exam and the communication to the statutorily competent organ for possible disciplinary action."
Any student may be required to take an oral examination should there be any doubts concerning his/her performance on the assessment pieces.
