Teaching method

Interactive methodology combining a moment of question formultation that tends to enhance the possible experience of students, and another moment of systematization in order to integrate adequately the contents and regulating the students´ research processes.

Evaluation method

The assessment is based on contributions from students in class and in their subsequent formalization, a written assignment. It is expected that students integrate training contents in their thesis work. In addition, as far as transversal contents are concerned, students are expected to fill the thematic dossiers intended for the work of the whole group.
