Teaching Methods

Regarding the hours of contact with the teacher, the teaching / learning process will be organized based on lectures. In addition to the presentation of the programmatic themes by the teacher, the lectures also include the participation of students who, individually or in small groups, and based on resources previously distributed or to research in self study, will contribute to streamline the sessions.

Assessment

The course unit will be formally assessed by means of an individual written assignment (80%) and a presentation and discussion in the classroom (20%), based on a topic related to the course contents. The evaluation of the written work and the presentation will be based on grids previously presented to the students.
