Teaching method

Modular training on a seminar basis on topics related to significant issues on Intelligence Studies. It is intended that they are debated and examined in some depth and that students actively participate in the discussions that will take place during the sessions. The discussions should be based on the suggested readings for each topic and events analysed, essentially, by media source. The teaching-learning process is based on theoretical-practical classes, where a participatory methodology and analysis of case studies will be privilege.


Evaluation method

Essay: Individual work (about 3500 words, - excluding footnotes and bibliography). It must have a cover, include title and author identification on the first page, uniform footnotes and final bibliography. The essay seeks to lead students to develop, test and evaluate their conclusions about what is taught in the sessions. It should be an analytical exercise and not a mere description.



Or Written exam.



 



FINAL GRADE: The grade will be based on the participation and attendance of students in the sessions (10%), and in the essay or written exam (90%).
