  • Teaching methodologies and assessment

    Teaching methodologies and assessment

    Expository/interrogative method; development of works and challenges using bibliographic research and internet; individual/group work, have the objective of applying and amplifying acquired knowledge, reflection, and discussion; consultation of environmental impact studies, public consultation and stimulation of debate, innovation and creativity.

    Use of active learning methodologies, namely: Case Study Analysis; Brainstorming; Role Play, Mentimeter, Flipped Learning, Mind Maps, Systemic Thinking, privileging the 4 C's of Education (Collaboration, Communication, Critical Thinking, Creativity).

    Continuous assessment with attendance of students to a minimum of 70% of the classes, completion of work group with written and oral presentation, and debate. A test will be performed, minimum grade 10(9,5). Works developed will have a weight of 60% in the evaluation and the frequency 40%.

    Written examination for unsuccessful students; minimum grade 10 (9.5).
