Teaching methodologies
Teaching methodologies
In the methodological approach of this discipline, the expository method predominates, where the teacher presents the fundamental theoretical concepts, using a variety of graphic resources and algebraic tools to illustrate microeconomic principles. This theoretical exposition serves as a basis for students to understand the fundamentals of the subject. To promote more dynamic and participatory learning, students are also involved in solving practical exercises.
