Active learning and continuous evaluation

1.  Organization and methodology

The organization and adopted methodology for this course is oriented to let you achieve particular learning outcomes, following a continuous evaluation approach. What does a continuous evaluation imply? This approach requires certain burden to you as a student, self and constant learning that you were not required in the traditional evaluation (until the last month of the term).

2.  Interacting in class and participation

Interaction is a crucial element in an educative process. This subject is organized for you to interact:

  • With your teacher: In tutoring sessions, in the forum, in class. Ask what you don't understand. Ask always. Your teacher is there to help you to find the answer.

  • With your partners: You will scarcely work alone. You almost always work with the rest of the students, in pairs or in groups.
