Teaching methodologies (including evalution)

We understand as primordial the development of a teaching and learning process based on the student's autonomy. The perforce diversified methods aim to endue the student of being able to search, analyze and apply meaningly data, to think over and communicate contents, whether individually, or in group. Therefore, the endeavor is that the students have, all along their schooling, a participative, active and critical role and that they develop a reasonable work and search autonomy. This curricular unit learning evaluation will follow the next items: Written test (40%)- it consists on thinking over the performed learning. Oral test (20%)- it consists in answers that are able to join and mobilize the knowledge. Work group (40%)- it consists on a written work that will exhibit in the classroom and will verse on a previous definite topic, under number 3 of the curricular unit, according predefined criteria.
