Teaching Methodologies and Assessment Criteria |
The Curricular Unit will be developed through expository sessions, discussion of texts and debates in groups under the responsibility of the master's students. Each exhibition session will always be followed by a moment of reflection and analysis of documents or texts illustrating the theme or content covered.
The assessment will be made on a continuous basis, leading the Master's students to actively participate in the Curricular Unit sessions, either in the form of a group or an individual critical work. For each theme, the participation of working groups and the presentation of their research to the class are foreseen.
