Evaluation:

Weekly we have a theoretical lesson (2h) and a practical lesson (1:30h). In theoretical classes are transmitted the main contents and in practical lessons is held its implementation and consolidation. The practical lessons are targeted by worksheets developed by students organized in working groups and presentations to the class of topics prepared either in group or individually. Assessment: - Group Work - During the practical sessions are requested reflections on six themes, on which should be drawn up (in a group) a written summary and an oral presentation to the class; - Individual Work - Each student must also prepare a written work on one of the themes proposed by the teachers; - Written Test - To be carried out at the end of the semester. The final grade (FG) is established by the following formula: FG = 30% group work + 30% individual work + 40% written test
