Teaching method
Theoretical and practical classes, based on masterly exposures and the discussion of topics by students based on the
analysis of documents, maps, charts and the use of audio-visual media.
The planning and scheduling of activities is defined, presented and distributed at the beginning of the academic cycle.
The presentation of the subjects, accompanied by the identification, in the classroom and via moodle, documents, sources
and bibliography, and other resources, including web, it assumes and appeals, beyond the expository and explanatory
dimension, scenarios of interpretation, content questioning and discussion.
Evaluation method
The evaluation includes a frequency test, with access to books and support materials, and a written assignment.
The written assignment might consist of a literature review or an exercise of reflection and synthesis of a topic. The topic is
decided with the Professor, prior to the presentation and discussion of a work plan with the Professor and in class.
