Teaching method
The MA sessions will be of variable format, but in general terms they will be composed of a theoretical exposition, followed by debate, which is to be nourished by the study of a reading list of articles and essays previously given to the students for preparation. It is possible to have some sessions taught by the students, presentation of work in power point and oral exposition, or critical assessed reading of papers.
Evaluation method
In every session the students are expected to participate actively in the group debates.
Two of the sessions will be exclusively devoted to expose and debate the students essays.
Final assessment will result of three componentes: the active participation in the classroom (20 %); na oral presentation using power point (30%) and a final critical essay of about 15 pp. , to be presented and discussed on a plenary session (50%).
