Teaching methods and learning activities

The training sessions will take place based on the theoretical-practical interaction between the trainer and the trainees. The operationalization of concepts, the analysis of examples and the viewing of videos will be elements to be privileged during the sessions.
Good practices will be presented that will open space for discussion of how they will be implemented by trainees.
Cases that focus on everyday problems will also be presented, and the sharing of solutions to them will be encouraged.
The trainer will also provide support/guidance and feedback to individual and group exercises.

Calculation formula of final grade

With regard to the evaluation:

 The modality will be “distributed without final exam”.

 The evaluation methods will be based on 2 components:
o Presentation and discussion of a scientific paper (50%)
o Face-to-face participation (50%)

 Formula for calculating the final classification = 0.5 * presentation + 0.50 * participation

According to GR 02/11/2020, Cap II, art 13, point 1, the final classification will be expressed on a numerical scale from 0 to 20 values.
