Demonstration of the Syllabus Coherence with the Curricular Unit's Objectives:
The course contents are consistent with the goals formulated for the course since the topics included in the program covering the main aspects of the study introducing the basic concepts of Thermal and Acoustic Rehabilitation of Buildings and the legislation applied to the subject of concern.
Teaching Methodologies (Including Evaluation):
The teaching methodologies are mainly expositive, interrogative and demonstrative, both during classes and tutorial orientation sessions. Case-studies are frequently used, in order to allow the interpretation and correct application of theoretical knowledge. Students are encouraged and oriented to perform research essays. Whenever possible, lectures with external guests or study visits are promoted.One evaluation test will be carried out (1o0% of the final classification).
Demonstration of the Coherence between the Teaching Methodologies and the Learning Outcomes:
The methodologies of teaching and learning of this course were programmed in order to maximize a global view of the Thermal and Acoustic Rehabilitation of Buildings issues by the students as well as the policies and techniques applicable in its resolution. The teaching methodologies are consistent with the objectives of the curricular unit as the expositive methodology combined with the analysis of case studies; works and development of enable a good comprehension of the challenge posed to the future professionals.
