Management Accounting
Teaching Methodologies
The preferred teaching method will be the active method, based and adapted on Team Based Learning (TBL).
This methodology is intended to promote individual learning and cooperation between students and will follow three stages:
1st students analyze theoretical contents individually;
2nd the teacher exposes and clarifies the same contents;
3rd students demonstrate the acquisition of knowledge by answering questions or solving practical cases in groups.
