Demonstration of the syllabus coherence with the UC intended learning outcomes

The approach of the syllabus is directly related to the goals of the UC, focusing sequentially in transportation and several processing steps that constitute the treatment of urban wastewater.

Teaching methodologies

In theoretical is an exposition of the materials proposed in the program and in practices is solve of practical application of theoretical concepts. All materials used in the classroom and complementary to the UC are available on Moodle.

Demonstration of the teaching methodologies coherence with the curricular unit's intended learning outcomes

The teaching methodology aims to combine the theoretical componentthat provides students the specific structure of reasoningin the analysisoftechnological processescombined withthe resolutionof practical exercises illustrative of the theory. The monitoring work, with real data, allows the student to apply in real context, the knowledge acquired.
The smooth relationship between the theoretical and practical lessons is responsible for complying with the UC objectives successfully by students.

Assessment methodologies and evidences

The evaluation of the UC result by performing final exam, group monitoring work and
accompaniment lessons in Moodle plataform.
The final grade is obtained with a weight of 35 % to the group work - monitoring, 5 % for the accompaniment lessons and 60%of the test or final exam.
