Abstract

This study aims to report an interdisciplinary assignment experiment developed, in competences aggregation, in the context of two curricular units of the Degree in Office Management and Business Communication, taught at the Higher School of Technology and Management of Águeda – University of Aveiro, in Portugal. This assignment took place in the 1st semester of 2020/2021, reason why its implementation was influenced by the COVID-19 pandemic containment measures. Thus, we intend to describe this experience and understand the reactions of the students involved to the proposed assignment and methodology. This is, therefore, a study with a descriptive component, complemented by a quantitative analysis of the data obtained from the application of a questionnaire to the students involved. The results of this questionnaire show that, globally, the students are satisfied with the option for the aggregation of skills, highlighting, however, the difficulties experienced in terms of group work. The experience as a whole proved to be less satisfactory than others carried out in a non-pandemic context, both in terms of marks obtained and in terms of appreciation of the experience.
