Teaching Methodologies and Assessment Criteria |
The teaching and learning activities include expository (presentation of content) and interrogative (formulating questions in the discussion of syllabus topics, solving exercises to apply theoretical concepts, analysing and discussing practical cases) theoretical-practical sessions throughout the semester. In addition, in the second half of the semester, with the completion of the group work, an active learning methodology based on team-based learning and a flipped classroom will also be adopted, accompanied by supervision, feedback, and tutoring from the lecturer. Continuous independent study by students, involving literature review and deepening knowledge through the study of materials, also plays a significant role in the learning methodologies. Assessment will take place continuously throughout the semester, with a written test as well as a group research project with an oral and written presentation.
