Teaching method
The seminar will be developed through classroom lessons and independent student work.
The classes will have a theoretical and practical nature, being constituted by moments of theoretical exposition of topics, practical exercises, oral presentations and discussions with the students participation. The students should read the material that is suggested before each class.
The independent student work should complement and deepen the knowledge transmitted in the classroom, promoting independent learning.
Evaluation method
The evaluation will be based on the following weighting:
-Group work (written presentation) - 45%
-Working Group (oral presentation) - 15%
-Comment text (individual) - 30%
-Participation (individual) -10%
