Métodos de ensino e atividades de aprendizagem
In the theoretical scope, an expository methodology will be used with the presentation of concepts, techniques, and methodologies, seeking to support the respective exposition through examples. A participatory methodology will also be developed that promotes participation and discussion of the examples or practical cases presented, encouraging students' reflection. With regard to the practical component, it will be sought, through the resolution of concrete situations or practical cases, to stimulate students in the search for solutions to the nature of the problems presented and to encourage analysis and critical thinking. The practical component will be complemented by a tutorial component through which students' autonomy will be stimulated in the understanding and monitoring of the exercises and practical cases presented and in the work to be developed throughout the semester.
