Teaching Methods

The methodology favors the active posture of the students, in the sense that they are the main participants in the sessions. Thus, the presence of a component of a self-biographical approach assumes an important role, since scientific, academic, professional or other experiences will be the pretext for the introduction of contents. The case studies, collected and presented by the students themselves, will be considered. Invitations to senior researchers and initiates and study visits to R & D units and / or institutions using scientific knowledge and technology in the area are considered. The evaluation will take place, in accordance with the provisions of paragraphs 3, 8, 13 of article 93 of the Academic Regulations of the University of Évora and will consider: (i) the quality of participation in the discussions (15%), and (ii) the production of written documents, following each of the sessions, which will be added, constituting a portfolio (85%).
