Teaching Methods
Classes are theoretical-practical, with exposure to the themes underlying venture capital and the process of financing innovative ideas. They are supported by powerpoint presentations, material available on the Moodle e-learning platform (also used to promote greater contact and interaction and self-learning). The critical spirit of students in questioning reality is promoted, with debates on the work carried out in all classes.
The pedagogical model is based on: teaching centered on student learning; in the development of disciplinary and transversal skills; in the use of digital resources as learning and management tools communication and flexibility; in self-regulatory assessment practices for student learning; at articulation of teaching and research; and in the relationship with the community.
The form of assessment allows the consolidation of knowledge and development of skills.
