Miguel Castanho is a tenured professor and researcher, and is also recognized as one of the most popular lecturers among students. His academic work combines research with teaching, which gives him a privileged perspective on both areas.

Castanho was invited to participate in the program "45 Graus," hosted by José Maria Pimentel. In this interview, he addressed the topic of teaching and shared his reflections on the teaching profession.

One of the challenges the professor highlighted was the need to keep up with the evolution of generations of students, who present increasingly different ways of learning. This constant adaptation was identified as one of the main difficulties of being a teacher nowadays.

The interview also focused on the challenges posed by artificial intelligence in the field of assessment. Castanho shared his perspective on how AI is transforming assessment methods and the implications this has for higher education.
