Learning activities and methodology
This course will have the dynamics of a seminar-workshop and will dispense as far as possible with master classes since it is based on the project-based learning methodology. The activities to be developed in the classroom will be of diverse nature and in accordance with the objectives and competencies of the course. Among these activities will be considered some such as reading and discussion of texts, the creation of own contents to discuss specific problems that are being addressed, self-observation of the own activity in the digital environment, the development of group projects, the search for examples that illustrate the discussions that are being developed in class. Each course will also have a space in the digital environment in which students will share content and propose discussions. This work system requires a firm commitment on the part of the students who wish to go through the course as a continuous evaluation regime. The core activity of the program will consist of the development of a group project that will be designed from the beginning of the semester and will end on the last day of classes. Students and working groups formed in class will have two types of tutorials: individual and/or group tutorials with the teacher and also collaborative peer tutelage.
