Teaching Methods

Teaching methodologies/learning process will be organized based on theoretical and theoretical-practical teaching sessions. In the theoretical sessions, the first approach to the theme is promoted, presenting the different perspectives on it and confronting the student with conflicting and / or complementary approaches. In the theoretical-practical sessions, emphasis is placed on the student's work and his active participation in dynamizing the sessions through the analysis, discussion and debate of the different themes, previously the subject of study and reflection. These teaching sessions, where the debate dominates the teaching-learning process, will always be guided and moderated by the teacher.

Assessment

Assessment will be continuous and will take into account the student's active participation in the various activities proposed. For students who opt for continuous assessment, there will be two assessment moments ? Submission of a written group assignment (60%) at the end of the teaching sessions and an individual PITCH presentation in the last theoretical-practical (40%).
Students who do not obtain a grade equal to or higher than 9.5 will be subject to a final assessment based on individual written work. In accordance with the Regulations of the University of Évora, students who do not take one of the scheduled assessments will automatically be subject to the final assessment system, in accordance with the provisions of the aforementioned regulations.
