Teaching Methods
a) Exposure (to introduce the themes and issues to discuss);
b) Hermeneutics of texts;
c) Discussion and argumentation;
d) Written and oral tests
Given the specific formative purposes of the Course, this Curricular Unit has 15 hours of field work (identified as
hours TC), in which we will develop the teaching activities identified in the Academic Regulation (artº 86º -8) as
sessions dedicated to learning and application of knowledge. Because we understand field work in broad
meaning, we include in it both the hermeneutical practices of texts that we register as a method b) and possible
workshops in close collaboration with cultural institutions that are partners of the University of Évora for the
achievement of this degree.
