Teaching method
Some of the lessons will be of theoretical nature, constituted by discursive presentations of the lecturer and
students, according to the work plan and evaluation. Some input from professionals or visiting researchers are welcomed. Other sessions, theoretical and practical, intended for presentation of work by students and their critical contributions. Visits, thematically integrated in the syllabus will be made.
Evaluation method
Are evaluated: attendance and overall participation (25%); developing a critical review, in the context of the literature of the seminar (25%); the preparation of a paper (50%) - with individual oral and written presentation - about one or more aspects of the program (syllabus), with a component of theoretical and conceptual framework and a component of critical analysis or case study. This may stem from both contexts addressed throughout the workshop by the lecturer or proposed by the student.
