Teaching method

The curricular unit will run with weekly conferences, followed by a debate with the prior reading and forum online. It is required to participate in at least 4/5 of the conference.

Evaluation method

The assessment of students will be continuous and will take into account the attendance and participation in conferences, as well as the preparation by each student of a paper (maximum of 15,000 characters, including spaces) on the subject of one or more conferences to an audience properly identified (eg, newspaper like "página da educação " or an opinion text for a weekly or daily newspaper).

Alternatively, a digital learning portfolio can be prepared and presented
