Teaching methodologies and assessment

The nature of the teaching methodology in this curricular unit is expositive. The assessment of the programmatic content encompasses three elements. An individual presentation in class supported by slides, which requires the articulation of several programmatic contents (30%). Group discussion on the topics of the individual presentations by sending three questions until the beginning of the class (10%). An oral test on the programmatic content, with one of the topics chosen by the student, while two others are drawn by lot (60%).
