Teaching method

The teaching methodologies are divided into theoretical lectures (50%) and practical (50%), also involving individual assistance and clarification of doubts either by email or through Moodle. Theoretical sessions aime the transmittion of the programatic contents referred to in paragraphs 1 and 2, being open to critical participation of the students. Practical lessons unfold entirely from the presentation and discussion of texts.
Each student presents two texts: one at the end of Part 1; another during the teaching of point 3. Each presentation is worth 25% of the final grade. At the end of the semester students will have to present a critical review based on the texts presented (50%) of their choice. Whenever possible, students are encouraged to articulate the content of the review to the subject of his master´s thesis or his professional stage.
