| Methodologies |
| Methodologies | Description |
| Guest lecture / keynote speech | Oral presentation (using audiovisual material and student interaction) designed to transmit knowledge and encourage learning. Presentations of this type are variously referred to as ‘expository method’, ‘guest lectures’ or ‘keynote speeches’. (The term ‘keynote’ refers only to a type of speech delivered on special occasions, for which the lecture sets the tone or establishes the underlying theme; it is characterised by its distinctive content, structure and purpose, and relies almost exclusively on the spoken word to communicate its ideas.) |
| Events academic / information | Activities involving attendance at and participation in academic and information events (conferences, congresses, symposia, lectures, presentations, etc.), aimed at increasing student knowledge of specific elements of course content. Provides students with relevant learning experiences by bringing them into contact with latest thinking in particular areas of study. |
| Case study | The students in a group, independently prepare a document on the creation of an innovative company or project in order to demonstrate that they have acquired the skills inherent to entrepreneurship. |
| Supervised projects | Supervised learning process aimed at helping students to work independently in a range of contexts (academic and professional). Focused primarily on learning ‘how to do things’ and on encouraging students to become responsible for their own learning. |
