Teaching method
The teacher explains in a theoretical manner, the investigation of resources and develops practical activities, in workshops, for producing work individually and/or in groups. This essentially leads to: theoretical-practical lessons, the student having an active role, a link with other disciplinary areas.
Evaluation method
Continuous assessment through observation of individual and group participation. Practical work, produced in groups; production and presentation of a scientific article related to the theme of the curricular unit. This article is produced individually in writing and presented to the class for discussion with colleagues.
