The group work permits to develop and apply the acquired knowledge and extend the personal performance.

The forms of assessment are appropriate to the objectives of the course and the methodology adopted.


">The development of topics will be carried out articulating intervention moments structured by the teacher with theoretical presentation illustrated by visual materials commented, and moments of sharing and collective discussion around the issues under study.

">The aim is to engage students in research work and reflection on the matter presented.

">Continuous Evaluation without Final Exam.

">The evaluation is based on two elements:
">a- Preparation of a final test on the subjects taught (70%);

">b- Presentation of an group or an individual work on one of the themes of the class (30%).
