Teaching method

The teaching method addresses the paradigm transition from a reflexive and analytical perspective, framed by the Communication Sciences. Discusses contexts and trends of the migration to digital within the syllabus of the seminar. The practices incorporate the participation of masters students in the presentation and discussion of key documents and texts of the seminar (estimated proportion of 50% for practices, 50% theoretical).

Evaluation method

The evaluation of the seminar is made through a linkage between the formal assessment system and a continuous evaluation system, this focused in particular on the participation of students and their individual work, generally on specific topics, authors and of support texts on fundamental content of the seminar program.
