Teaching Methodologies
The development of the theoretical component is carried out using the expository method and presentation of specific materials, using participatory exhibition strategies and practical examples, as well as possible passages of videos, slides and documentaries, as a complement to the information on the themes in question. ; The organization of seminars with guest speakers and study visits is also to be considered. The elaboration of field work, using the techniques discussed, involving the observation and discussion of the class, is part of the UC practice, forcing the student to structure and apply the acquired knowledge in situations with the respective applicability.
