Evaluation Methodology:
The methodology adopted for the course includes four key components: a. Content exposure introduced by analyzing case studies and exemplary situations, in order to enhance an 'inductive' process of learning; b. Creating informed debate situations, consistent and systematic, necessarily framed and buoyed by the questions that are successively introduced; c. Developing practical work in a proper environment, involving a prior preparation of its various components, both in terms of processes and content; d. Moments especially dedicated to the evaluation process, covering different standard models of self-assessment and practical work of critical analysis developed, applying these situations the skills and knowledge developed in the course. Final grading results from the following components: Project I - 15% / Project II - 25% / Project III - 35% / Individual Report - 25%.
