  • MetodologiaMethodology
    The classes will be divided into a first, more expository part, using an interrogative method. The aim is for students to understand the concepts but, essentially, to be able to debate ideas about the relationship between theoretical content and the national reality of companies and other organizations; The second part of the class will always be dedicated to carrying out application challenges based on group work and constant monitoring by the teacher (problem-based learning). Journal Clubs will also be held in which students prepare and discuss a scientific article and lead the session with their peers (Flipped Classroom).
