• MetodologiaMethodology

  Classes will be expository and participatory, accompanied whenever possible by visual content, both images and videos. Teacher/student interaction will be encouraged through debate, discussion in group dynamics, as this facilitates the assimilation of content. Students will be encouraged to deepen their knowledge by carrying out and presenting a research project. The History of Fashion Design course has a theoretical-practical nature, but with a strong focus on research, analysis and critical reflection. Assessment is continuous, based on the work carried out throughout the semester and participation in classes, with particular emphasis on the evolution of acquisitions throughout the teaching-learning process.
