Teaching Methodologies

The teaching and learning methodologies assume an active, participative, and dynamic character, integrating a combination of systematized expositions of information with critical analyses; elaboration of activity proposals and small projects, participatory observation, research and grounded critical reflection; presentations and discussion of papers, among other diversified activities.

Students may choose one of two possible assessment modalities: continuous and final exam.

Continuous assessment includes the quality of the individual contribution of participation in activities within the curricular unit (50%) and a group assignment (50%: written work (25%) and Presentation and Discussion (25%)).

The exam is presented in the form of written test without consultation.
