We use the lecture method for introduction of theoretical concepts and participatory approach to reflection on the contents. These two methods are also used in solving exercises and discussing cases.

Demonstration of the teaching methodologies coherence with the curricular unit's intended learning outcomes

There are lectures and practical classes. However, in all theoretical classes a space of application of the contents is created. The expository method is used to introduce the theoretical concepts related to the conceptual structure of accounting and the participatory method to reflect on the different situations and operations related to the norms being studied. These methods are also used in the resolution of exercises and discussion of cases, in order to try interactivity and seeking to relate to real events.
Through the presentation and discussion of a group work, aiming to assess the information content of the Reports and Accounts of companies and the test seeks to assess the ability to reflect and expose the topics and the level of knowledge acquired about them and their articulation practice.

Assessment methodologies and evidences
