Teaching Methodologies and Assessment Criteria	The teaching process is organized in theoretical and theoretical-practical lessons. In theoretical sessions demonstrative, expository and interrogative methodologies, supported by dynamic audiovisual resources are adopted. These aim to stimulate a comprehensive learning of facts, concepts and theoretical models, via stimulation of a participatory and critical analytical attitude of students. The evaluation of this component is carried out by one individual test - 60% of the final score. In the theoretical-practical component active and student-centred methodologies are adopted. These methodologies intend to encourage independent and cooperative work, in the classroom, in the search, synthesis and analysis of current scientific literature published in a foreign language, used in the development of two practical assignments, with their reporting, analysis and discussion in group sessions - 40% of the final score.
