Teaching Methodologies and Assessment Criteria |
The type of classes in this UC is fundamentally of a theoretical-practical nature, with the presentation of the main contents by the teacher in order to promote a debate on the subjects covered - the aim is to create a collaborative learning environment, in which students independently search for information, substantiated on the bibliography provided, reflect and debate in a class environment.
The curricular unit (CU) assessment has several moments: (1) worksheets (in groups), where students will show their ability to solve problems/practical issues of the syllabus, debating, researching information and applying the theoretical principles covered; (2) students must research, reflect, substantiate and present group work; (3) written test and (4) active participation where students must participate in activities inherent to the CU, namely participation in colloquiums, seminars and/or lectures.
