Teaching Methodologies and Assessment Criteria |
As metodologias de ensino são concebidas tanto para desenvolver e encorajar as competências críticas e de pensamento dos estudantes, como para fundamentar estas competências numa preocupação pelas questões éticas e de sustentabilidade que afectam as empresas. Os materiais abrangidos, as leituras e os métodos de aprendizagem (por exemplo, debate, análise crítica dos argumentos e teorias dos autores, métodos baseados na arte) são concebidos e planeados com este objectivo em mente. Para a sua avaliação, espera-se que os estudantes se empenhem reflexivamente nos temas abordados e contribuam activamente para discussões profundas e análises escritas à sua volta, apoiadas por uma leitura académica e mais ampla.
