Teaching method

The direct method will be used, maintaining a progressive approach. The classes are theoretical-practical. The exposition moments are interspersed with activities based on the worksheets delivered throughout the semester, organized according to learning progress. Students are encouraged to be proactive, not only because they have the opportunity to prepare the subjects in advance (they receive the planning of the semester in the first class), but also because the texts thematic provide value sociocultural judgments. Formative assessment helps the student to self-regulate learning and the teacher to evaluate his performance.
The evaluation criteria defined at the beginning clarify the goals to be achieved and motivate students to develop the appropriate knowledge, skills and attitudes.
