Teaching method
The lectures will be mainly expository, with the possibility of involvement of students to clarify questions or comments. The
practical classes will be devoted to the analysis, commentary and discussion of historiographical texts, contemporary
documents, movies or web sites about the French Revolution, previously selected by the teacher and analyzed by students.
Evaluation method
Students will be assessed through their participation in practical classes (20% of final quotation), by an individual written
work (40%) and a final written exam without consultation (40%).
