Teaching Methodologies and Assessment Criteria |
Methodologies: This curricular unit is annual and pedagogical activities take place over two semesters. In the 1st semester, the approach is essentially theoretical and the activities are carried out via e-learning using the UBI LMS platform, with a set of resources available that contain the information necessary to achieve the defined objectives. Learning is monitored through knowledge testing. In the 2nd semester, practical activities are carried out where students have the opportunity to develop scientific communication skills for their peers (preparation of a review article and its oral presentation) and for the general public (development of a scientific communication project for a specific audience).
This learning is complemented by participation in CICS seminars.
