• MetodologiaMethodology

  The sessions will be theoretical and practical and always accompanied by predominantly practical sessions, where the fundamental concepts will be presented, using, whenever possible, real-world cases where the concepts, theories and models become more evident. The aim is to encourage discussion as a way of clarifying the issues raised by the more complex concepts, through theoretical tests and practical work, with the latter supported by real-world cases developed by the students in groups, followed by debate. The following teaching methods (ME) will be used: ME1: Expository method; ME2: Interrogative method; ME3: Critical analysis and debate of practical cases. In addition, it is assumed that methodologies appropriate for distance learning will be used, such as Problem-Based Learning (PBL), which encourages the resolution of real problems, is effective, among others.
