The teaching method is based on the presentation and discussion of the course's programmatic contents, focusing on exposure to the theoretical-practical aspect focusing on real situations, experienced or known to the students. Students are required to carry out research, critical analysis and study of practical cases, in accordance with the presentation of content, motivating them to study outside contact hours with the aim of developing their skills. The participation of students in classes, through their contributions to debates and small assignments, is valued and will constitute an evaluation factor. A factor of lesser importance, as indicated in the following section, but, nevertheless, a compensatory stimulus for what is intended. Meanwhile, tutorial sessions will be dedicated to informal contact with the student, aimed at supporting their daily work and guiding them in their studies.
