Learning outcomes and competences

It is important to make students participate in class discussion by making them bring their personal and academic experiences to light. Most students have already carried out some essays during their academic path, so it is essential to encourage them to think about the produced knowledge. Here lies the consistency between teaching methodology and learning outcomes.

Teaching methods and learning activities

Given the circumstances, the main method is the exhibition, starting with a question to get to the final question, in turn, will take over as the starting point for the next class, so the students can reflect on the theme of the next class.
