Teaching Methods

There is a solid theoretical basis during the first half of the curricular unit. These classes are intended to provide the students with the necessary background, so that they are able to develop critical thinking about the subjects, including the more practical issues. On a second level the classes will have a progressively more practical component. Therefore, during the semester, the sessions will take place at the classroom, at the radio and television studios and outdoor for shooting video and recording audio.
