This theoretical and practical work in the classroom will be complemented by research and by reading documents, articles and books, as well as by activities involving cross-functional skills of reading, writing practices and writing in multimedia environment.

Participation in oral presentations, debate, practical development, and research processes ensure the integration of knowledge, articulating content and objectives. The teaching methodologies give centrality to the development of students as autonomous professionals in the multifunctional domain of oracy, reading, and writing.

Assessment methodologies and evidences

The assessment will include punctuality, attendance (a minimum of 75% attendance) and the participation of students in the activities of classes and performing tasks. Further, it integrates the development of practical work (oral presentations with a digital support) and the development of a written production.
The evaluation elements are:


As an alternative to continuous evaluation, students can take a final exam. During the first week of classes, students should contact the teacher in order to choose the evaluation modality. If a student chooses the final exam, he/she may, like all the other students, access the activities of the UC page on Moodle.

Students with special status should contact the teacher during the first weeks of classes to define the forms of assessment.
