Métodos de ensino e atividades de aprendizagem

- There will be an average of 1 lecture per week, with group and individual synthesis report, including study
visits.
- From these lectures, the initial 4 will be associated with the clarification of each course profile.
- Students will perform 4 group assignments, with a theme associated with each of the 4 profiles, with oral
presentation of one of the assignments before the class. These works will be subject to self-assessment
and peer review. Depending on the theme, Design Thinking or Projet Based Learning methodologies may
be implemented.
- In this group work, group dynamics will be developed, with specific responsibilities of coordination and
organization and performance of tasks, with rotation by work, also evaluated.
