Methodologies that encourage the students’ personal and professional development, based on a work of reflection, critical inquiry and continuous analysis are preferred, properly guided and framed in working group sessions and tutorial guidance, ensuring discussion and substantiation of practices, work and preparation of the report.
The evaluation includes the clinical component (A) for each context- 50% (35% professor and clinical advisor + 15% student) and the report component (B)- 50%, which aims at the delivery, presentation and public discussion of the Report before a jury.
Elements A and B will individually have a minimum admissible grade of 10 points. The curric. unit is only completed after the public discussion of the Report.
