							| Let me try to help you portugueseteacher: 
 "
 For example how should you translate the following expressions from Poruguese into English: -unidade curricular-Module/Subject -carga letiva - Work load
 -produ��o alimentar-food production (difficult without a context)
 -gest�o alimentar- food management (difficult without a context: diet management?)
 -casos pr�ticos- case study
 -sentido cr�tico- Critical thinking
 -gest�o operacional alimentar- (difficult without a context: diet operational management?)
 Hope it helps; maybe if you give a context it becomes easier...

							| Hi Portugueseteacher 
 As lost  as you, even so, my best options, and, as stated before, without references, turns out a little more difficult:
 
 
 unidade curricular - curriculum unit
 -carga letiva - weekly teaching hours
 -produ��o alimentar-food production / cathering 
 -gest�o alimentar-cathering management -casos pr�ticos- study cases
 -sentido cr�tico-critical approach
 -gest�o operacional alimentar- operatinal cathering management
 Sorry, dear, no better ideas ... hope you achieve what you need. Good luck

							| Dear, 
 As Portuguese and confused as you are.
 
 Here are my suggestions:
 
 Unidade curricular - Topic/Unit/Module
 
 Carga letiva - hours per week/month/course - module/topic/unit
 produ��o alimentar-  food processing
 gest�o alimentar - food management  eating management   nourishing management
 casos praticos -  practical cases
 sentido critico - critical reasoning   critical sense
 gest�o operacional alimentar  -  food operations management
 otimiza��o de custos  - cost optimization
 
 
 It would have been better if we had known the context. Anyway, I hope this can be helpful.
 
 Have a nice week.
 
 Leonor

							| Thanks!!   You �re very generous!   This translation was intended to help a friend ...who �s going to teach "Gest�o Alimentar"or "Food Management " 3 hours a week in a Portuguese University.   This text stated the course,the time it would last, the objectives/goals of it (eg:to develop critical reasoning....and so on),  the evaluation method, etc...   I tried to opt for a free translation in some cases...You certainly helped me a lot!   Have a nice evening!       |  17 Jan 2012
