Teaching Methodologies and Assessment Criteria |
Series of Conferences led by national and foreign researchers on relevant PCS themes, planned and organized by the UC Coordinator and teachers. Before each Conference, independent work is carried out by students and in the classroom under the guidance of the proposing teacher, as well as preparatory research work on the topic to be addressed. Students will analyse the theoretical and methodological aspects of the topic as a way of preparing them for active participation in each Conference. The methodology involves the active involvement of students in their own training, stimulating their autonomy in research, analysis, organization, elaboration and presentation of major themes based on the work presented by the invited lecturers. The individual assessment consists of a post-conference thematic research report.
