Teaching methods and learning activities

The Course comprises lectures and theoretic-practical.

The lectures aim to convey to the student, clearly, the basic knowledge about a particular subject, enabling him to distinguish, within the vast bibliography currently available, the accessory and the essential.

The theoretic-practical classes give the student an open space for discussion, based on a previously selected iconography from course file. The knowledge acquired by the student from that interaction will be measured through the individual evaluation sheets.
