Teaching Methods
Given the eminently theoretical, practical, and instrumental nature of the subjects, a theoretical approach will be favored at the beginning, complemented by the illustration of practical and specific cases of health units. A set of documents related to the subject of the Curricular Unit will also be analyzed and group work will be carried out. Focus will be given to methodologies focused on the development of skills defined for this curricular unit. Interactive strategies conducive to participation and reflection will be proposed. There will also be tutorial support to aid student learning and study.
