Teaching methodologies
Teaching methodologies
The teaching-learning process of this UC contemplates the adoption of active methodologies focused on the creation of opportunities for reflection, collective debate, and co-responsibility of students for the systematization and deepening of the programmatic contents, namely, through the dynamization of the classes by the working groups (e.g., brief presentations, at the beginning of each class, on the contents treated in the previous class).

Continuous evaluation presupposes the completion of a group written assignment (composed of a maximum of 4 members) through which students, considering the previously listed program contents, must propose an organizational change project related to a real organization (50% of the final grade). This project includes two interim presentations (5% each), a final oral presentation (10%), and a written report (30%). Continuous evaluation assessment also involves an individual written assignment (50% of the final grade). As an alternative to continuous assessment, students may take a final exam (100% of the final grade) that covers all the program contents of the course. Student-workers who do not have an attendance rate equal to or higher than 70% will complete an individual written assessment as a replacement for the group written assignment.
