Teaching methodologies and assessment
Teaching methodologies and assessment
This course is related to the 2nd semester TMIC course, as students develop a group pre-project in MTI that is then individualized and deepened in TMIC. Furthermore, students have the opportunity to present and submit their proposals twice, for formative evaluation by the professors. This creates a dynamic in the teaching-learning process where mistakes are seen as opportunities for improvement. Lastly, all work proposals are integrated into CIDEFES research lines, promoting a deeper integration between the work developed in the master's program and FEFD research.
