Demonstration of the syllabus coherence with the UC intended learning outcomes
The curricular unit of Instrumentos e Tecnicas em Comunicação, contributes to the learning of assessment and intervention techniques in the area of human communication. It allows students to make a practical application of the knowledge acquired in other curricular units of the study plan. Its contents include the knowledge, selection and application of methodologies and evaluation tools, the critical integration of information obtained and the application of models and intervention techniques in human communication

Demonstration of the teaching methodologies coherence with the curricular unit's intended learning outcomes
In order to respond to learning goals focused on knowledge and application, we use theoretical and practical classes and simulated practice.
The exam allows the student to evaluate their individual knowledge about fundamental contents, while performing exercises, allows the student to evaluate their practical knowledge. The practical assessment allows the student to evaluate their practical skills related to the programmatic contents. The accomplishment of a group work allows the student to appropriate the theoretical knowledge and to consolidate them in the interaction between pairs and in their process of autonomy.
