As well, it is important to have the fundamental concepts underlying an executive process.

Classes are theoretical-practical and given the nature of the curricular unit, the sessions are constituted by the exposition of the themes by the teacher, followed by the resolution of practical questions and placement of questions by the students, aiming at the operationalization of the concepts and the acquisition of theoretical and methodological skills.
Some classes are presented by students, where they have the opportunity to exhibit their work.

The teaching methods adopted allow the pursuit of previously defined objectives.
