Teaching Methods

The methodology followed in the classes of Writing Skills follows the theoretical and practical content of the course. In classes with heavier theoretical weight, contents are exposed by the teacher, with the use of data projectors, so that speech is accompanied by a more effective and clear means. In the more practical modules in the second half of the semester, classes operate as an workshop, in which students are confronted with diverse examples and perform various exercises.
