Teaching Methods
Theoretical classes 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 method will be used, group work will be carried out, promoting autonomy, constructive criticism, sharing, among others, using new technologies such as moodle.
The continuous evaluation includes the following evaluation moments:
1. Theoretical assessment includes frequency (70%).
2. Theoretical-practical assessment includes writing a logbook, attendance and body experiences (20%).
3. Theoretical-practical assessment includes writing a state of the art (10%).
The final assessment consists of a written (70%) and a practical exam (30%).
