Teaching method

The teaching methodologies focus on the master class and debate sessions guided/moderated by the teacher. In the teaching of the planned program, pedagogical strategies will be selected to stimulate the acquisition of knowledge and skills by the students, making them co-responsible for the teaching-learning process, based on research, reflection, critical questioning and continuous analysis, properly oriented and framed in the teaching and tutorial sessions.

Evaluation method

 

The evaluation will be continuous through group and individual work (50/50) and will include the active participation of the student.

Tutorial guidance will be managed in person or remotely, individually or in groups. The material is placed on the Moodle platform: thematic in PowerPoint, video, exercise documents, articles to support materials.
