Teaching Methodologies and Assessment Criteria |
472 / 5.000
The methodology adopted for the teaching-learning process is based on the combination of expository classes in which the main concepts, theories and methodologies of security studies will be analyzed, followed by a seminar where previously assigned scientific articles will be discussed together with the students.
The UC assessment is weighted based on 3 (three) individual assessment elements: a book review, a mini-class and a scientific article.
