Teaching methodologies
Teaching methodologies
Being a course with a theoretical nature, with essentially theory driven outcomes and skills, master classes are in itself the most appropriate methodology. The survey of problems, its definition and discussion are the main elements to be used. The textual heuristics and hermeneutics are also resources to improve in class. The verification and monitoring of skills acquisition is done by a public discussion of the argument chosen for the oral presentation, i.e., around problem raised by the student
