Almost everything that is on the exam will be talked about in the classes. The powerpoints are really useful to study and i recommend you to participate at least once per class

Professor really dominates the subject and you can notice how clearly she is interested in it. Very low difficulty, exam can be done easily by understanding the slides which are fairly organized and understandable. Try to keep up the classes and read all the slides before the exam

The teacher is amazing, super friendly, she goes to class and participates, which gives you points towards your final grade. Going to the behavior lab also increases your grade. The slides are well done. If you go to class and disrupt it, she will deduct points from your participation grade, so don't do that; it's better not to go at all.

The course lasts 6 weeks and has two classes per week. This is one of the only courses where your actual spontaneous participation in classes counts. If you miss classes, are distracted and don't participate, it is likely you will get a 5 out of 20 as your participation grade (you lose 1,5 points of your final grade just because of it). The class will be divided in random groups of about 6 people. You will have to create a presentation about a text and present it to everybody in the first or second half of a class. After you finish, another group, who also read your text, will ask you...

There's only one class per week, so in order to keep up with the topics and theories, I suggest to create your own notes every week, so that it doesn't get overwhelming near the exam date. The teacher provides the slides after each session and you should focus on them to prepare for the exam. There's two more components in the evaluation, which are the participation in class and the group project, it is required that you submit the presentation before the actual oral presentation in class.

The course is deeply interesting, the workload and level of difficulty of exam are appropriate but the length of the classes were completely disproportionate and easily makes students skip most of the classes.

cadeira bastante fácil. As aulas são muito interessantes apesar de um pouco longas. Existe apenas um avaliação escrita que é o exame e uma apresentação oral. Recomendo a ida às aulas porque os professores dão bastantes dicas sobre em que parte do conteudo é que temos que nos focar. Não é preciso nenhum material especifico para esta cadeira.

Really short course but not that useful. It’s pretty easy but I can’t see how still exists and how is it still mandatory.

Really easy. Only one presentation. Ended with 17. Recommend you read the book and make small notes of small things to memorise.

The first exam i took in my bachelors, i wasn’t ready at all so i didn’t get a good grade but it is a simple course, it is only trimestral so it is easy and has not a lot of workload. It has fun concepts and interesting subjects

You may think it is easy but do not forget to study for the exam as it has a lot of concepts. The teacher is accessible so it is easy to take any doubt, however most of the information is on Moodle. You just need to go to two classes the one you do your presentation and the one you give your opinion about another presentation.
