Teaching Methodologies and Assessment Criteria |
The course unit comprises theoretical-practical classes and laboratory practices.
Classes are organized by combining active and expository methodologies. Active methodologies include: Flipped Classroom; memory retention techniques.
Assessment consists of an individual written theoretical-practical exam (TP), group work between classes (TG), and a practical assessment (P). The practical assessment includes the analysis of a practical case (P1), the written preparation of a visual training plan (P2), and the practical execution of visual training exercises (P3).
