Teaching method
The curricular unit has a seminar format, therefore students will be encouraged to participate actively in all sessions and to become progressively autonomous in their work (bibliographical research, critical reading, formulation of problems and proposals for their resolution, etc.).
The topics proposed for study and discussion are scheduled at the beginning of the semester and students will be instructed to previously prepare their work for each seminar.
Evaluation method
Evaluation Methodologies - (i) participation in the seminar sessions, including presentation and discussion of topics and other autonomous tasks(40%), final individual work(60%)
