Teaching Methods
This is a highly theoretical and introductory discipline, so the method to be followed will consist of a set of variations on the same working mode: reading and comprehension of bench mark texts in order to ownership of facts and interconnections between them.
Care must be promoted, in addition to analytical and synthetic skills of divergent thinking and creative association, in order to train students in research skills, and even desire for theoretical innovation.
The evaluation will consist of a small individual work of literature with theoretical exposition of the result and a written test of open questions, which presupposes the development of structured thought and its expression.
