Teaching Methods

The teaching / learning process is fundamentally based on the autonomous work of the students. These are theoretical-practical units, giving rise to the debate, the presentation and exposition of problems, the deepening of perspectives, thus involving the students in an active way. Research assignments, reviews and presentations are strategies to be favored in order to guarantee student involvement.
The evaluation aims to assess developed competences and acquired knowledge, considering its operation. On a continuous evaluation basis, the student should regularly present reviews and prepare presentations and interventions in context, as well as short assessment tests, following the sequence of the program. It also carries out a research dossier on the subject of work negotiated with the teacher. In the final exam, the student will take a final written exam. On a case-by-case basis, intermediate solutions may be considered and negotiated with students.
