Teaching Methodologies and Assessment Criteria Classes will be of a theoretical-practical nature. Theoretical presentation will be accompanied whenever possible by analysis of case studies taken from journals and books on the speciality.

The assignments to be completed by students have two distinct formats. The first assignment (individual) concerns detailed analysis of a paper (provided by the lecturer and related to the programme of the curricular unit) to be presented in class. The second assignment consists of elaborating a major paper with a written component and also oral presentation in class.

For the purpose of teaching-learning classification, four types of knowledge assessment will be considered (periodic assessment):

1) Discussion of 2 papers- 15+15=30%

2) Research proposal – 70%
