Teaching Methodologies and Assessment Criteria	Teaching method: Theoretical-practical sessions, with weekly classes predominantly of tutorial orientation, that is, monitoring and evaluation of projects under development by students. The practical cases in development provide real experiences of research or sociological intervention and foster the participation and debate of cross-cutting themes and issues in the class. For evaluation purposes, the work requested by the teachers and performed by the student will be taken into account.
Language	Portuguese. Tutorial support is available in English.
