Teaching Methodologies
The use of expository and interrogative methodologies will allow the explanation of theoretical concepts and their framing as well as the assessment of their mastery by the students.
The theoretical-practical explanation will allow, in addition to exposing the contents, the use of interactive methodologies, privileging the demonstration, exemplification and applicability of these contents and concepts to different real situations and circumstances. It will thus allow the development of the mentioned competences.
The existence of practical examples will allow a better understanding of the contents.
Written assessment – 40%
Individual and/or group works – 60%
Minimum grade of 9.5 values in each of the assessments
Assessment by exams according to academic regulations
