Teaching methodologies and assessment
Teaching methodologies and assessment
Teaching is based on classroom work and independent study/research. The instructor presents and discusses content, applying it to real cases. Students engage in discussions, solve exercises, and present work individually or in groups. Tutorials support independent study. As a pedagogical innovation, the course includes the Interdisciplinary Research Project (P2I), shared with three other units, where groups analyze real territories from multiple risk perspectives. The project fosters transversal knowledge and a holistic view. It is presented and assessed by a faculty jury, with individual grading.
