Teaching method

Theoretical lectures and practical classes, in which the combination of lectures and debate on primary sources and recent articles may develop in the students not only the necessary basic knowledge, but also a specific competence in debating and updating their critical perspectives on the construction of the History of Portugal and its sources.

Evaluation method

The student’s assessment will be done in two moments: 1) Oral presentation (with power point) on a specific question, based on source materials (30% of the final mark); 2) written test with consultation (60% of final mark). 10% of the final mark is dependent on participation in the classroom.
