Teaching Methods
The UC includes classes of expository nature (with supporting materials: documents, primary and secondary texts, audio-visual registers, etc.). However, the development of the course will focus on the participation and active work of the students, integrated, according to the norms in force in U. de Évora and its Evaluation Regulation, within the preferential scope of a continuous evaluation.
Two assessment regimes - continuous and final - are chosen by the student during the semester. In the continuous assessment regime, the student participates regularly, presents and defends a written research work. A written test of frequency replaces or complements the above elements.
The final evaluation scheme provides for a written exam, for which all the summary material will be eligible for the semester, as well as the set of texts indicated for compulsory reading throughout the semester. An examination program provides the necessary guidelines for its preparation.
