Teaching Methodologies
The development of skills programmed in this course is enhanced by teaching methodologies based on expository and active sessions, in which the students’ ability to read and interpret bibliographic information and perform tasks of journalistic production for social networks is explored.
The evaluation of knowledge will focus the practical work performed (60% individual task; 40% group tasks). The assessment by exam, is to be held at the end of the school year, and will be based on completion of a written test, which will focus on the entire program.
