Teaching Methodologies and Assessment Criteria |
The work is essentially practical and individual, implementing a work proposal for each student. The teaching sessions trigger teamwork as a support and sharing network and the teacher has the role of tutor in this process. In this sense, the evaluation criteria will consist of two works: 1) final work of individual project 2) work exploring one or more research/intervention techniques to be included in the project
