Teaching method
The seminar will be developed through presential classes, tutorials and autonomous work by students. The face-to-face classes will have a theoretical-practical character, consisting of moments of theoretical exposition of the themes, concepts, practical exercises, oral presentations and debates attended by the students. The autonomous work of the students should complement and deepen the knowledge transmitted in the classroom, promoting their autonomous learning.
