Teaching Methods

Classes will take place Classes will take place throughout the 3rd semester. Theoretical classes are plenary with the support of audiovisual media where the contents are transmitted, and the critical and reflective attitude of the students is encouraged. For this, the questioning method will be privileged, in order to promote greater participation from students. The approach to theoretical content will be complemented by the Practical component, which takes place in the gym, to experience psycho-bodily activities with individual reflection, to relate this experience with the theoretical contents.
Both the continuous evaluation and the evaluation by exam, comprise the delivery of (a) a personal reflection (individual) with integration of program contents and (b) a written work (individual) based on articles about the contents (final average ≥ 9.5 values).

The student must obtain a rating ≥ 9.5 for each element of evaluation, in the two evaluation processes.
