Teaching methodologies and assessment
Teaching methodologies and assessment
Being a course with a theoretical nature, with essentially theory driven outcomes and skills, master classes are in itself the most appropriate methodology. The survey of problems, its definition and discussion are the main elements to be used. The textual heuristics and hermeneutics are also resources to improve in class. The verification and monitoring of skills acquisition is done by a public discussion of the argument chosen for the oral presentation, i.e., around problem raised by the student Assessment: it will have two moments, one qualitative, the other quantitative. The qualitative moment will be tested on student attendance to class and their participation, and with a practical exercise focused on a topic-problem argumentation on one syllabus subject matter. Writing a scientific paper on the previous chosen topic-problem will be the element of quantitative evaluation. Weigh: Attendance : 10%; Oral presentation : 40%; Final Examination : 50%.
