Teaching method
Evaluation method
The evaluation will take into account students participation in the sessions, the result of a written exam and the presentation of a written work and its discussion in class. The paper shall have 10 pages maximum (letter 12, double space) and must be delivered, in a word file, via electronic mail. The final classification will be calculated using the following formula: NF = (P x 0,2) + (E x 0,3) + (RT x 0,5) Where ´P´ means participation in class discussions, ´E´ means the result of a written exam, and ´RT´ means the result of a written presentation and an oral discussion of a research work.
