Teaching method

The teaching methodology and the final evaluation of the course are based on the rules in force at FCSH / NOVA. The classes are divided in theoretical and practical types. The classes are based on multimedia projections (and also on Internet resources), and written texts provided in Moodle platform. Such pedagogical materials enable the internal debate of the syllabus and also enable its explanation in class. During the classes, students may measure, formatively, their knowledge, and can also put together their doubts and difficulties.

Evaluation method

The assessment is divided in two stages: a frequency / an exam (40%) and a research paper (50%) to be delivered at the end of the semester. Oral participation in class and attendance (10%) are also recorded elements for the final evaluation.
