Teaching Methodologies and Assessment Criteria |
The program of this CU is conveyed in a double approach:
1) screening, analysis and debate of "case studies" within projects, documents and production tools highlighting various production methodologies and practices
2) completion and presentation of individual works and practical exercises, of lab nature, which will allow for the embodiment of concepts, testing specific tools in an autonomous practice that culminates in the elaboration of production documents
