Teaching method
The sessions corresponding to points 1 and 2 of the Syllabus are more expository, consisting in lectures given by the teacher and always having at the end a general discussion of the presented material.
The sessions corresponding to paragraph 3 of the syllabus will be of the students initiative and will consist in the presentation and discussion of ´papers´ to rehearse the application of theories and techniques presented to real argumentative contexts (media, political, financial, public health, etc.) chosen by the students.
Evaluation method
Each student will make an oral examination on points 1 and 2 of the program and will write a paper for point 3, the paper will be presented and discussed in the seminar.
