• MetodologiaMethodology

  The teaching methodology is fundamentally theoretical-practical in nature, involving learning the fundamental laws of photography theory and the contextualisation and evolution of the history of photography. At the same time, theoretical learning is consolidated with practical exercises. This CU also promotes the public presentation of the projects developed. It is intended that the teaching methodologies contribute to achieving the objectives and the respective development of knowledge, skills     and competences through active methodologies(1) and expository methodologies(2).  The choice of active and expository methodologies aims to reinforce the learning of fundamental knowledge as a way of achieving the learning objectives of the course and the way in which it contributes to achieving the learning objectives of the study cycle itself.
