    Teaching methodologies and assessment

    lasses throughout the semester will be completed in a seminar environment, as much as possible. Despite this framework, critical reflections on the theme or themes that will be faced by the Students will always be given at the beginning of each class.

     

    The evaluation will take into account the participation of the Students throughout the semester and also, obviously, it is taken into account, with substantial weight, the evaluation that will be made in function of the class work.

     

    A continuous assessment test will also be carried out.

     

    Notwithstanding this, the (optional) participation of the Students, as listeners, in an event (colloquium, seminar, conference, etc.) promoted by Faculty of Law of the Universidade Lusófona, provided that it is accompanied by the delivery of a short written report, will be valued up to a limit of 5 % of the total classification.
