• Practical classes - Participative Methodology through study, analysis and resolution of Case Studies about all topics of the course.

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

The selection of methods to be used is based on learning objectives to be achieved. So, into this curricular unit the theoretical lessons are given to a large number of students simultaneously and the educational objectives aim predominantly a cognitive knowledge - level of know - know. The practical classes focus on basically on the level of know-how. The practical classes are supported on instrumental activities and practical solving problem through the operationalization of concepts and materials provided in the classes.
But the expository method of teaching, used on the theoretical classes, is also supported by the participation of students, that imply an improvement on the process of learning, discussing, illustrating and responding to issues / questions to the teacher. This method used in the theoretical classes invitates the students to participate, helps to clarify concepts, helps to reflect on the content and help students in structuring and discrimination and integration of cognitive elements (know / know).
