Teaching methodologies and assessment
Teaching methodologies and assessment
The teaching-learning will be developed from a pedagogical approach that will combine more expository methods, for the transmission of concepts and fundamental and structuring analysis methods, with participatory methods around work constructed and presented by the students. Classes are framed and accompanied by a detailed script with developed summaries, specific bibliographic guidelines and tasks.
