Teaching Methodologies and Assessment Criteria |
All work will be oriented to the realization of methodological exercises in the classroom context and outside.
The first challenge will be to develop an essay considering weaknesses and strenghs of each individual project taking into account ethical issues and/or data treatment procedures (60%). The essay must propose solutions for the eventual problems anticipated.
A second piece of work is an oral presentation of the project aiming to prepare the final defense of the work. (40%)
Given the eminently practical objectives of this course, there will be no final theoretical exam.
