Provide information and content related to the entire second year process: documents to be delivered, public proof and their evaluation.
Learning outcomes and competences
At the end of the semester, students will have developed a set of skills that will allow them to produce a written document and the respective practical component (when it exists), as well as face the public master's test with more confidence, armed with methodological and theoretical arguments related to their thematic or in the general domain of the course - graphic and editorial design.
In this sense, students, in addition to having participated in oral presentations on the contents taught and participating in clarification discussions, had to write a text / presentation of the study / project and made a final presentation (with half the time of the public test) .
