Teaching Methodologies

The methodological options leading to the fulfillment of the curricular unit’s program will focus on three

fundamental pedagogical components:

6.1. Theoretical component – oral presentation oriented towards the foreseen contents, using multimedia resources whenever possible;

6.2. Practical component – practical exercises for exploring and consolidating the contents of the course.

6.3. Theoretical-practical component – study and presentation of works/productions;

 

6.4. The evaluation of the curricular unit will take place, by option of the student, in one of the following ways:

– Continuous evaluation;

– Exam.

6.4.1 Continuous evaluation: work 1 (40%); final portfolio (60%);

6.4.2. Exam: written test with a weight of 25%, followed by a practical test of photographic capture and editing.
