- In classes, the interrogative method is combined with the presentation of content at different times, fostering a continuous dialogue about the content and its implications. The consolidation of knowledge is also done through individual and small group application exercises, and in the analysis of small cases/situations in light of different theories and models, individually. When relevant, short illustrative videos are used for visualization and discussion. Personality assessment methodologies are approached from a practical perspective, with knowledge of psychological tests, interview training, and psychological observation.
