Teaching Methodologies and Assessment Criteria |
Classes will consist of theoretical and practical sessions. Some of an expository nature, in which all the component inherent to “knowing” as content is gathered, accompanied by examples of situations and or studies of an experimental nature in the area in question. These sessions may be accompanied by students using the bibliography. The remaining theoretical-practical classes will be used to consolidate the theoretical aspects covered, using videos and the discussion of texts to promote debate and reflection on study topics. In these sessions students will have the opportunity to develop operational skills.
