Teaching method
The methodology uses theoretical and practical lessons. In addition to the exhibition by the teacher, based on literature given to students in advance of the main lines of knowledge
organization, seeks to promote critical thinking by students, by raising issues and raising their participation in guided discussions. Instruments are used as maps, graphs, tables and
documents enabling a more interactive and interventional by students.
In some practical classes (depending on the number of students enrolled), students are themselves called to animate the sessions from the presentation of texts and documents, which
should lead to discussions extended to the whole class
Evaluation method
The assessment consists of four factors: a) participation in general class discussions (20%) b) animation of a discussion session (25%), c) participation in a group work (glossary;
collection of documents) (15%) d) a critical essay (40%).
