Teaching Methods

The methodologies favour the participation of students in carrying out different tasks, through debate, criticism and reflective intervention, contributing to the consolidation and mobilization of knowledge.
Starting from the report of personal experiences, the analysis of documents and practical situations, students are asked to perform individual or group work and to participate in discussions and debates that are articulated with expository moments of systematization of the themes addressed.

Assessment is integrated into teaching and learning, playing a regulatory role. It takes place throughout the semester, continuously, by carrying out individual (IT) and group (TG) tasks of a different nature, based on the contents, and a Case Study (EC).
Final Classification = 0.4 [(TI + TG) / 2] + 0.6EC
For final assessment, students take a test (100%)
