Teaching method

The teaching methodology is based on two dimensions. First, a speech teacher in each class, allowing an overview of the topic and its consequences historiographical with calls attention to the large document databases. This context leads to the involvement of students through exercises such as presentations citation or a reference to the methods and content of the research work. Second, the progress of the evaluation process, conceiving evaluation as a learning process that allows the use of soft skills to the making of social sciences.

Evaluation method

Continuous Assessment


Assessment is structured according to three areas:

consolidation (20%): writing a review of an article or book chapter suggested by the professor, followed by an oral presentation;

construction (10%): consisting of class attendance, participation and discussion of the topics presented in class;

research (70%): writing an essay on a topic to be agreed with the professor, reflecting mastery of the topic and reference bibliography, followed by an oral presentation.
