Teaching Methodologies and Assessment Criteria |
The methodologies used combine a part of theoretical-practical exposition and laboratory practice including questions of reflection on concrete problems. Video lessons are also provided in support of the learning. Progressive practical exercises are performed that require the objective application of concepts and interrelation between the contents taught. Practical classes require research, oral exposure, field work and the resolution of Labs where the use of hardware and software is used to analyze human movement. The evaluation uses written tests with questions of various typologies (e.g. multiple choice, short answer, checklist, filling in blanks, true/false, graphical interpretation). Whenever possible, group work is also carried out aiming at the application of knowledge in the field of human movement analysis.
