The teaching methodology is practical in a real work context, with tutor supervision in conjunction with the supervisor. The evaluation will be carried out by the tutor, according to the evaluation grid proposed at the beginning of the course. This acquisition is supervised by the school teacher, who ensures the smooth functioning of this process, contributing to a good tutor-student relationship. The student must make a final reflective internship report, evaluated by the supervisor and the curricular unit's conductor. The final classification of the discipline results from the following weighted arithmetic average: 60% internship grade and 40% internship report.
