Teaching methods and learning activities
In this particular case, the teaching methodology, largely leaving to students the responsibility of conducting their work the way they deem most appropriate, according to their opinion, pace and even instincts, is consistent with the objectives of the course: the students should show they can apply the knowledge, skills and attitudes acquired during the course.
Admittedly, the supervisors will be attentive to keep the students focused on essentials, and avoid getting lost on minor points, and to ensure that the work plan is followed. For this, the supervisors perform the monitoring of research, both in individual and group format, and encourage regular work presentations where the participation of all students is encouraged.
