Teaching Methodologies and Assessment Criteria |
The teaching-learning process combines theoretical-practical classes, seminars and tutorial sessions, with independent, individual or group study. This process is supported by e-learning activities, as well as close contact with the teacher. Theoretical-practical classes frame relevant topics and provide analytical tools to develop autonomy in the learning process. Theoretical approaches use empirical evidence and case studies. The seminars are supported by student presentations and debate using selected texts. Tutorial sessions guide and support learning activities.
