Teaching Methods

The UC is taught by three teachers, combining evaluation methods and typologies. The process of teachinglearning
enhances and deepens the autonomous work of the students, continuous evaluation (as stated by the
RA). The UC implements a project designed, conducted and presented by students to one of the partner
institutions / host, focusing on the development of project methodology, participation, motivation and
commitment to the project to be held in proto-professional context.

The evaluation focuses in the design process, development, implementation and presentation of the project
(75%), and at the end written report (25%).
Projects can take different forms, always associated with a host institution. The final exame will repete as closely
as possible in the appropriate calendar the very specific modalities of the continuous assessment.
