Classes in which the basic theoretical concepts that students need to understand the subject will be explained. Within these classes, simple exercises will be conducted to reinforce the theory covered in each session. To ensure optimal class participation, students should know the topic to be covered by consulting the schedule and should have prepared beforehand. Computer lab classes will be held to visualize the concepts about electric machines covered in the theory classes. Projects, exercises, and small daily quizzes may be proposed. Throughout the course, there will be an exam on the theoretical content on dates specified in the schedule. In addition to practical classes in the computer labs, there will be a laboratory session where the application of the concepts covered in the theory classes will be demonstrated. Specific schedules for student tutoring and consultations are provided in Aula Global. At the discretion of the professor, tutoring sessions outside of those hours may be arranged if requested by a student.
