Click on “dashboard”;
Click on the grey box “Documents”;

How does the Term Paper work?

The Term Paper is mandatory for finishing the course. The student may present the Term Paper in person (in Piracicaba/São Paulo) or online. The Term Paper presentation is performed via a platform developed specifically for this, and it guarantees the performance of this stage safely and according to USP rules. In case of choosing the in-person presentation, the student must inform this decision and be aware that the transport and accommodation expenses will be their responsibility.

*Students who choose the in-person presentation, will present their Term Papers in a place that will be disclosed later.

Does the course provide supplementary textbooks?

All materials (the professor’s presentation slides in the PDF format, supplementary texts, tables, etc.) are made available in the Student Area before the beginning of the class, consisting basically of pre-class reading, class material and post-class reading. The educational material provided varies according to the professor. Some professors provide books, articles, and videos. However, nothing stops you from requesting some extra material in case you’re interested in a specific subject.

What are the criteria to be approved in the course?

The minimum grade for being approved is the arithmetic average equal to or greater than 7 (seven) in the Online Tests; an average of 7 (seven) or more in the Term Paper; 7 (seven) or more in the Term Paper presentation, and an attendance of 75% or more. Therefore, these averages are independent. The course completion certificate will be issued by USP (University of São Paulo) for students who meet all the requirements of grades and attendance.
