Teaching method

Presentation of theoretical contents by the teacher that will be complemented by practical sessions devoted to oral
presentations by students and discussion.

Evaluation method

Each student must make a written individual paper (55.000 to 60.000 characters
including spaces and footnotes), based on sources and bibliography. This work should be subject to a presentation in class
(15m.). The student also will be invited to attend a seminar regularly (minimum of 5 sessions), according to the schedule
provided, and present a short written report for each session in which it is present (2.000 to 3.000 characters including
spaces without footnotes). Students will be encouraged to intervene regularly in discussions during class and will be
graded on the basis of results obtained in the individual written paper (60% of the final grade), the set of written reports
(20% of the final grade) and its interventions regarding practical classes (20% of the final grade).
