Teaching Methodologies
Classes will be taught through the exposure of theoretical content and its practical application.
The teaching and learning methodologies aim the integrated development of students in the referred knowledges in the programmatic content and the achievement of the established goals and competences. The use of a continuous assessment system implies an active participation of students in terms of study and oral intervention on the subjects taught. The teacher/student and student/student dialectic are emphasized, creating synergies of bi-directional communication aimed at reflection and discussion.
The realization of lectures will be a constant.

2. A mark equal to or less than 7 (seven) in any of the written elements implies failure in the Continuous Evaluation, which is eliminatory, and in participation, the student must obtain at least 10 (ten) marks or more.
