Teaching Methods
Individual and team work, namely through: case studies / problem based learning, structured questioning exercises; scenario analysis; debate; brief assignments.
Teachers will be required to: present theoretical frameworks; challenge questioning approaches and support the search for knowledge and evidence; provide supportive materials to participation activities; guide group activities; challenge students to critical and reflexive analysis of specific issues; give continuing feed-back; prepare and execute assessments and give final feed-back.
Learning evaluation: Two group work exercises, with specific instructions and explicit evaluation criteria, previously known by all (50%) + individual assignment focused on one specific learning objective (50%).
