Teaching Methodologies and Assessment Criteria |
The teaching methodology will be essentially theoretical-practical, with moments of theoretical exposition/reading of the proposed authors, followed by a comment accompanied by the teacher of the advanced excerpts in class for questioning and respective debate. Classes will be prepared in advance so that the debates/discussions to be promoted are positive moments of learning and sharing between students/professor, so that synergies are generated and a class dynamic that generates interest for all parties involved.
Assessment criteria:
: i) a face-to-face written attendance (60%) on the contents taught in class to be held in mid-December; ii) attendance and participation (including written and oral exercises) in class (40%). This participation will be measured through two written exercises done in class and their presentation and oral discussion, each of these elements being worth one-third of the 40 percent.
The minimum grade to obtain attendance is 7 (seven).
