Teaching Methodologies and Assessment Criteria |
In classes, the teacher presents each of the themes of the syllabus. On the other hand, the classes also include the preparation of an individual work carried out by the students in order to develop and deepen some of the themes of the syllabus. There will be three oral presentations, distributed throughout the semester, in which each student will present the evolution of the respective synthesis work. At the end of the semester each student will deliver a monograph that gathers all the information on the in-depth topic.
