  • The classes are expository in nature, involving the transmission of a problematizing theoretical-practical analysis framework, grounded in the literature and articulated through theoretical-technical concepts and assumptions, as well as practical and demonstrative exercises. The connecting thread underlying the programme's design will be highlighted throughout the course, ensuring articulation between its different parts. Teaching is conducted in theoretical and laboratory practice sessions, guided by supervised tasks and laboratory sessions for individual and group work, in which students are monitored, observed, and questioned using research tools and in-class mini-presentations.
