Teaching methodologies
Teaching methodologies
Several teaching methodologies (TM), such as exposition moments (TM1), feedback by the teacher (TM2) and peer-to-peer discussion (TM3) will be used. However, and because this is a practical CU, the methodologies to be favored are the demonstrative (TM4) and the active (TM5), involving the development of a group work in the tutorial regime during the semester.
