The different specialties offered during the course are taught by means of seminars. In each case, the guest professor and expert on the subject exposes the theoretical content through lectures and active demonstrations and supervises a continuous practice related to the explained contents. The methodology will focus on giving practical samples and cooperation between students, through group evaluations and exhibitions of students work.
The evaluation of this subject is conceived as a continuous assessment.
Formative assessment will be a focus, as the student will receive comments of their performance, with time enough to modify and learn.
Also teacher will lead practices for assessing group work, looking for developing peer to peer collaborations.
