Teaching Methodologies
Presentation and debate of relevant theoretical concepts in the classroom; Guidance on the autonomous study of students by consulting the recommended bibliography; Discussion and reflection on relevant issues related to the subject exposed in the classroom and presentation and discussion of case studies that reinforce theoretical learning.
– Theoretical component – frequency, previously scheduled, with a duration of approximately 1h30m, in which the grade must be equal to or greater than 9.5.
– Theoretical-practical component – set of reports to be carried out and delivered at the end of each assessment period, previously scheduled, whose global score must also be equal to or greater than 9.5. Mandatory student participation, in the case of study visits and presentation of work.
80% test (theoretical component) + 20% grade of practical theoretical component
