Resultados de aprendizagem e competências
The topics that make up the program were selected in order to provide an in-depth knowledge of the working mechanisms of the economic system and its influence on society in general. The organization and sequencing of the syllabus allow the acquisition of skills in a phased and coherent way. All concepts and techniques are clearly addressed in an interactive learning process where the use of case studies and the analysis of texts make it possible to concretize and exemplify the different points of the program.
Learning attitudes and personal qualities, including active participation in class and information sharing, as well as a sense of responsibility and interest in self-learning will provide an adequate alignmentbetween the contents and the objectives of the curricular unit.
