Teaching Methodologies and Assessment Criteria |
The classes tend to be lectures on the different points of the syllabus, privileging the formal exposition of theoretical and practical content. This approach is based, among other things, on the search for effectiveness and efficiency in the transmission and acquisition of knowledge, critical reflection and the creation of conditions for discussion, sharing and application of concepts and ideas. After the theoretical exposition, students must develop Case Studies presented in class.
Assessment criteria
The continuous assessment system includes two assessment components:
i) Completion of two written frequency tests [90%]
ii) Solving practical cases in groups [10%]
