Teaching methodologies and assessment
Teaching methodologies and assessment
The classes are of a theoretical-practical nature; however, priority will be given to active methodologies, the flipped classroom strategy, and Think-Pair-Share learning, in order to promote: (1) individual reflection on the subject; (2) group discussion of results; and, (3) presentation of the group's results to the whole class. The aim is thus to promote oral and written communication skills, consolidate group thinking and reflection and argumentative capacity.
