Teaching methodologies and assessment
Teaching methodologies and assessment
This course includes the development of an individual portfolio over the period, based on activities focused on the "learning by doing" system. Active teaching methodologies are applied throughout the content, so theoretical debates reinforce peer and mediated feedback, simulations fill a transition gap between theory and practice, and group experiments guarantee skills relevant to the job market.
