Teaching method

Seminars of a theoretical-practical nature, in which the theoretical presentation of the themes is articulated with group commentary, critique and debate on the texts and students’ oral presentations on aspects of the curriculum.

Evaluation method

Students’ research will be guided and supported with a view to preparing them for the writing of the individual final paper. The assessment method followed will consist of rewarding regular attendance, keeping up with required reading, contributing to debates by means of spontaneous interventions in class, displaying a capacity for establishing relations at the conceptual level and consistency in developing arguments, making brief oral presentations upon previous request, and writing an individual research paper of about 15 pages (excluding bibliography and appendices) on one of the themes of the curriculum.
