Teaching method
Classes are structured according to three types of sessions: a) oral presentation by the lecturer covering the different points in the syllabus, with use of powerpoint, audio, and video; b) invited experts to lecture on relevants subjects for assignment work; c) final collective discussion of the individual students´ work.
Since this is a curricular unit that can be attended by students from various undergraduate courses, we would like to enhance and reflect the richness of this diversity, combining the oral presentations with the participation and critical comments of students.
The subject of the individual assignment is prearranged with the lecturer, to be considered a small essay to be used further on in the master´s final assignment.
Evaluation method
The assessmet is done through participation and class discussions (20%) and written work, to be delivered according to established schedule (maximum 4000 words, excluding annexes and bibliography) (80%).
