    Teaching methodologies and assessment

    It is adopted a theoretical-practical methodology that will focus on discussions within the classroom between students and the teacher, using elements and teaching strategies of theoretical (expository and interrogative methods) and theoretical-practical nature (practical tasks, visualization and discussion of digital content). It will also be used the system of b-learning (moodle) where support materials for each of the classes (slides and additional bibliography) will be available. The continuous assessment requires an attendance rate of 70% or more and comprises the completion of an oral presentation.
