Teaching Methodologies and Assessment Criteria In the theoretical-practical contact sessions, contents will be presented by the teacher, using expositive, interrogative, and demonstrative methodologies and analysis of case studies, with the support of PowerPoint presentations and video sessions. The exploitation of contents is supplemented by the reading and analysis of texts, previously distributed to the students, in the classroom. The work of analysis is done in small groups, and discussed in the larger group, to enhance collaborative working skills and promote the debate.
Assessment consists of: Portfolio with 3/4 assignments on the 3 chapters of the syllabus. The student can choose to do the Portfolio mostly in a group or individually, with at least one of the tasks being done individually or in a group.
Language Portuguese. Tutorial support is available in English.
