Teaching Methodologies and Assessment Criteria |
This CU consists of a series of Conferences conducted by national and foreign researchers on relevant topics of the PCS. Before each Conference, autonomous work is carried out by students, as well as preparatory research work on the subject to be addressed. The students will analyze the theoretical and methodological aspects of the theme as a way of preparing them for active participation in each Conference. The methodology implies the active involvement of the students in their own training, stimulating their autonomy in the investigation, analysis, organization, elaboration, and presentation of the major themes based on the work presented by the invited lecturers. The individual assessment consists of a post-conference thematic research report.
