I am Paula and I teach in a over 700 years old university. In Portugal we receive no pedagogical training to become a university professor. I have always used interactive teaching methods, but lately I had to face new challenges for which I was not prepared. I have been, after 20 years of teaching, I am rediscovering methods and techniques and I have been able to have a positive impact on my students and I, myself, have become a happier professor. Looking forward to learning from you all.
