Teaching methodologies
Teaching methodologies
An active methodology based on project-based learning (PBL) will be used. The aim is for students to investigate, explore, and produce critical content for the dissemination of design through the presentation of various theoretical and practical cases. In class, bibliographic and cinematographic resources will be used to present theoretical content and case studies, to consolidate the content. Practice will involve complementary research into the topics covered and the production of content to support the study and dissemination of the History of Design. Assessment is continuous and includes the following parameters: - Attendance, commitment, and participation in class. - Participation in the exercises and analysis carried out in class. - Completion and delivery of practical work within the established deadlines. - Oral presentation of the work developed.
