Teaching Methods
Classes will take place through a theoretical exposition, using audiovisual means to stimulate learning. We will
appeal to participation, reading, reflection, analysis of updated texts, visit to exhibitions. The evaluation will be
continuous, by analyzing the following elements: 1. A proposal for oral communication of 30 minutes. Students
who are not selected for the oral presentation will have to prepare a research paper; 2. One or two tests; 3. Work,
attendance, punctuality and participation in the course of the classes. The criteria are: quality and quantity of
work; capacity to evolve through their own skills and the integration of acquired knowledge; assiduity of the
student as a guarantee of learning. The percentages of calculation of the evaluation are organized as follows:
50% tests; 30% work; 20% attendance and participation. There is the possibility that the evaluation can be done
through a final exam.
