Métodos de ensino e atividades de aprendizagem

Teaching methodologies used:
(M1) Expository Method.
(M2) Interrogative Method through case studies and/or answering questionnaires related to them or to the concepts exposed in class, national and international documents in the subjects under analysis, which may include comments on films or documentaries.
(M3) Active Method to promote discovery learning, through individual and group exploration; application of concepts and resolution of practical cases, supported by the resolution of exercises that allow the implementation of fundamental concepts.

Assessment Methodologies
• Continuous assessment
Continuous assessment comprises the realization of autonomous activities in the classroom (AA), the elaboration, presentation, and discussion of group work (GW), and an individual final test (FT).

The final assessment comprises the completion of an Individual Work (W) and the completion of an individual exam (EX).
