Teaching Methodologies and Assessment Criteria |
The typology of classes in this UC will be fundamentally of theoretical-practical nature, with exposition of the main contents by the teacher in order to create a critical debate on the topics covered. Therefore, expository methods and critical discussion of themes will be used, encouraging the participation of students. In the exploration of the different themes, there will be a constant concern in the relationship between theory and practice, with the aim to promote in the student their critical thinking.
