Teaching method
The methodology has a theoretical-practical character, each lesson having, as a starting point, a presentation and a discussion of critical analysis (of texts or themes) made by the students. The professor will contribute with an exposition of theoretical issues and the supervision of the presented works, motivating an interdisciplinary approach.
Evaluation method
Evaluation will pay special attention to the short works presented in classes, as well as to the participation of students in discussions (30%). At the end, a more important research work will take place supervised by the professor (70%).
