Teaching Methodologies
Theoretical-practical classes of expository and dialogical teaching, using audiovisual media. Group work in the classroom. Videos of clinical cases with different types of communication difficulties will be analyzed and discussed, and materials/equipment related to augmentative and alternative communication will be explored.
Practical classes (PL) will have demonstrative and practical teaching, which will allow students to learn to communicate through PSL whenever they need it.
Continuous evaluation:
– T/P assessment = 70% written frequency + 30% group work (with a minimum score of 9.5 in each assessment);
– Evaluation PL = 30% in the final grade, whose classification must be at least 9.5).
The final evaluation consists of 70% of the final grade of the T / P component (whose classification must be at least 9.5) + 30% of the final grade of the practical component (whose classification must be at least 9.5).
