Teaching method
The teaching methodology is based on two principles: clarity and rigor in the theoretical exposition, linking it to questions raised by students; mobilizing their participation with the aim of presenting relevant issues for their final work. Such operations require the developing of competencies and skills of written and oral reflection. The applied methodology seeks more the questioning based on problems brought by students. The theoretical and practical classes are organized so that these aims are accomplished. The exposure of the programmatic contents is also fueled by issues worked by national or foreign research on this subject and according to the programmatic axis defined. The audience is motivated for a questioning guided by the problematic axes that are suitable for their final work. The discussion of theoretical texts is privileged: these texts are distributed
beforehand. Other materials may be used for this purpose.
