Teaching Methodologies and Assessment Criteria |
The methodology adopted takes into account both the essentially reflective and critical nature and the importance of conceptual rigor.
Assessment will take into account the theoretical-practical status of the curricular unit, and will be continuous and phased. The assessment elements will be a written test (50%), written group work with an oral presentation (40%) and participation in class (10%). Factors such as active participation in the proposed activities (concept map and class question), attendance (the program was planned assuming the effective presence of the students), punctuality, as well as the overall behavior of the students (aspects such as the interest evinced, the pertinence or objectivity of the interventions will be some of the points assessed) will also be taken into account. Any evidence of copying will be punished by the awarding of a zero to the assessment element that has improperly used third-party texts.
