Teaching Methodologies
The development of contents will be carried out based on a theoretical-practical approach, supporting the acquisition of knowledge, either through exposition or through case analysis and problem solving supported by guided scientific research. The development of competences will be enhanced by strategies to simulate work contexts.
– Written assessement – 50%
– Work groups (pratical cases, problema solving) – 50%
Minimum grade of 9.5 values in each of the assessments.
Assessment by exams according to academic regulations.
