Teaching Methods
The methodology to be used foresees the application of informative and demonstrative techniques. It is intended that each student actively participates in the teaching-learning process, providing for the development of the curricular unit, discussion of specific topics in restricted groups and in the broader group through guidance and work.
The exposition and the debate in the classroom will be made by the professor or by the students based on the research that will be carried out in databases, according to the proposed themes. In the classroom, interactive strategies leading to student participation and reflection are privileged.
It is intended that priority is given to continuous assessment centered on the skills and processes that led to their development. Evaluation written paper group work (70% Written Work + 30% Presentation and Discussion). Exam - written individual work
