Teaching method
The methodologies consist in the 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
(35.000 to 40.000 characters including spaces and footnotes), based on sources and bibliography; the students should also
prepare and participate in an oral presentation, in addition to intervene regularly in discussions. Students must also attend
a specialized seminar and perform a individual written report (8.000 to 10.000 characters including spaces without
footnotes).
