Teaching Methodologies

The development of the skills suggested in this course is enhanced by teaching methods based on explanatory and active sessions, in which the ability of students to engage in the programmed activities is explored.

Continuous assessment will take into account the quality of class participation (attendance and fulfillment of tasks). The assessment process will classify the individual tasks performed (50% script design – storyline, synopsis, caracter profile, and others; 50% final script).

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.
