Teaching Methodologies and Assessment Criteria |
Theoretical-practical sessions with the realization inside and outside the classroom of written exercises by the students, namely an online questionnaire to confirm knowledge at the end of classes. Discussion of the main ideas of the texts of the classes; organization of debates and analysis of case studies. The teacher provides students with preparatory materials for the classes in advance, in order to improve the previous information and facilitate the participatory reflection of the students. Preparatory materials represent important learning resources and are available on the moodle platform. The contact sessions include, in balanced doses, the exposure of the teacher and the debate with the class. The presentations are done with visual supports (powerpoints) or photocopied texts.
