Teaching method
Teaching will be framed within the «seminar» model, that includes an expositional
moment (50% ), and another that demands, in several differentiated ways, the participation of the students. They must present at least a book review, a short essay, and an oral presentation of a contemporary case.
Evaluation method
The evaluation will be done through the quantity and quality of intervention in lectures and on the basis of the tasks referenced in the preceding paragraph.
