Teaching methodologies and assessment
Teaching methodologies and assessment
This curricular unit promotes a wide range of interventions in the areas of the study cycle, on which expository and exploratory methods are used. After each conference the teacher responsible for the session promotes a debate, acting as a facilitator between the students, the speaker and the subject addressed, leading them to take an active approach in the thematic of the case study presented. The evaluation is focused on the student's participation in the sessions and in the achievement of the objectives defined for the course: choice of the dissertation topic and advisor and performing an outline of its state of the art and work plan. Alternatively, candidates may be assessed by submitting one or two 'Position Papers' exploring topics covered by the conference cycle, or on their dissertation theme.
