Teaching Methods
The teaching methodologies combine theoretical sessions with active sessions of dialogue and argumentation. The organization of the teaching-learning process is thus a combination in each session of exposition, discussion, and synthesis. To promote the quality of the discussions, a set of topics of reflection and texts will be provided to students previously. This previous preparation will enable them to participate in a critical and well-founded way in the collective debate on the themes under analysis. Autonomous activities of research, reading and analysis of reference bibliography, which complements the texts given by teachers, and which must integrate face to face debates, are encouraged to promote students autonomy.
