Teaching Methodologies and Assessment Criteria |
At the beginning of each syllabus point, the teacher makes a theoretical exposition about it. Thereafter, classes are both theoretical and practical, with the analysis of the Portuguese language. Some classes are simply practical, with the critical discussion of theoretical texts on the matter by solving exercises and applying the learned contents. The assessment is comprised of a group project. At the beginning of the school year, the evaluation criteria are discussed with students.
