Teaching method
The study of criminal theory and how it should and is used by the jurisprudence.
Evaluation method
The evaluation elements will be those determined in the Regulation of the First Cycle of Studies Conducting the Degree in Law. In this way the evaluation can never be inferior to the evaluation score of the final exam and will correspond to this one whenever it corresponds to the most favorable evaluation score. The final mark may be higher than the final exam, considering the oral intervention of the students in the classes and an intermediate (optional) test
Subject matter
Because the study of the criminal theory implies the research of doctrine but also of jurisprudence, the student has to confront his knowledge of the main subjects of criminal theory with the resolution of concrete cases and also to proceed to a critical analysis of both doctrine and jurisprudence
