Teaching Methods
Theoretical classes (T) are plenary sessions where scientific knowledge is transmitted and students' critical attitude is encouraged. The active learning methodology will be privileged, so that the student develops skills in theoretical knowledge, in knowing how to do and knowing how to be, essential for the exercise of the profession. For this, questioning, group work, promoting autonomy, constructive criticism, sharing, among others, will be used, using new technologies such as moodle.
The continuous evaluation includes the following evaluation moments:
1. T assessment includes a frequency and group work.
2. Evaluation P includes the writing of a logbook, attendance and bodily experiences.
To successfully complete the course, all students must have a minimum of 9.5 points in each evaluation.
The final assessment consists of a written exam and an observation report with oral discussion.
