Teaching Methodologies

The methodology will be expository, active and interrogative. It will be based on the exposition of models, theoretical concepts, as well as the analysis and discussion of scientific texts and legislation, cooperative work (e.g. cooperative learning strategy – jigsaw) and reflection.
Students can opt for continuous assessment or assessment by examination.
Continuous assessment is based on the continuous involvement and quality of the students’ participation in group activities in the completion of group work (50%) and a written test (50%).
Assessment by examination consists of a written test on all the themes worked on (100%).
