Teaching Methodologies and Assessment Criteria |
In the theoretical-practical contact sessions, the teacher presents the content using expository and interrogative methodologies with the support of powerpoint presentations and videos. The exploration of the content is complemented by the reading of texts previously distributed to the students and analyzed with the aim of carrying out tasks/answering questions (in groups of ideally up to four), with the aim of developing skills in written expression and critical argumentation. Presentation of the results of the tasks by groups of students/individual students will follow. The assessment consists of: four assignments, three to be chosen by the students from among several proposed by the teacher, relating to the three syllabus points, and the presentation of a text, among those assigned by the teacher.
