Teaching Methods

The teaching / learning process will be organized based on expository, participatory sessions. Students participate in promoting the sessions both individually and in small groups, based on resources previously distributed or to be researched and also using their professional experience. Techniques that promote the exposure and exploration of subjects, reflection and discussion are used. Moments of analysis and discussion of concepts and practical realities will also be provided.
The evaluation will include a written group work and presentation and discussion in the classroom. The final grade of the course will result from the weighted average of these two moments of evaluation. Group work should include programmatic concepts learned during the teaching sessions and refer to the syllabus.
