Teaching Methods
The teaching provided in the curricular unit is based on two structuring methodological aspects:
1) the work carried out in the face-to-face collective sessions;
2) the individual or group work of research and production of critical texts or comments on the subjects and cases studied.
The first part involves the active participation of the student, where he / she should draw on the knowledge gathered in the previous reading. Such support should stimulate and facilitate individual participation in the dialogue and debate around the issues raised by the works (as texts and as proposals of creators in their staged version).
The second part consists of the extension of the work accompanied by the teacher in class, with a materials research, data gathering and organization for the drafting of the evaluation elements, including short oral presentations and a final paper of essayistic nature.
