Teaching method
The sessions present a mixed composition: expository sessions, entirely held by the teachers; sessions that combine expository teaching (first part of the session) with presentations of the students on the various themes of the programme. This methodology is expected to promote and increase the participation and critical debate in sessions, inviting students to become actively involved in the preparation of the proposed topics.
Evaluation method
The evaluation has three moments:
1st moment: individual or group (maximum two people) presentation in class - 20% (15-20 minutes).
2nd moment: individual or group exercise (written report of the oral presentation) - 20% (700 words).
3rd time: individual written assignment (topic of student interest) - 60% (1500 words).
