This is an online course, so it is valid to incorporate a few practices that can minimize the occurrence of problems during the presentation. Beforehand, make sure that the link to the online video platform was sent to all involved and works well. A good procedure would be to state the link on Syllabus, so everyone could easily have access to it. A template of the slides presentation is available in this manual, but it is worth updating it according to the time and reality of the program.


The lecturer and student assistant should open the class 05 minutes before the start time, to receive the students. Due to the considerable screen time, a 05-10 minutes break for each hour of class is endorsed.


Below you will find an overview of each lecture, explaining the topics to be explored, materials needed, staff and assignment. It is advisable to pay special attention to the subsection “Responsibilities” as it brings the background work of each lecture.

This manual does not intend to give a detailed step by step on how to conduct the lectures itself, as we expected that the course will be conducted by experienced lecturers. As such, our motivation is to offer instruction to smooth the path of those responsible for planning the lectures.
