Project Seminar

N/A

As the UC is the link to the internship, the classes will follow the projects carried out in the institution/community hosting the internship, using individual discussion and in plenary, in order to promote the sharing and participation of students and enriching each work.
This UC will articulate theoretical exposition strategies, with the participation of students in individual and group work, guided debates and tutorial guidance.
Given the nature of the UC, both continuous assessment and assessment by examination are made up of the following elements: Internship Project (60%), participation in seminar work (20%), fieldwork (20%). For students who carry out an Erasmus internship, the assessment of the fieldwork component is replaced by the elaboration of a research work on the intervention theme of the foreign internship institution (which includes a theoretical component and a component of presentation of socio-educational practices).
