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
