Teaching Methods
Contact hours will comprehend both presentations of the syllabuss topics and applied work, mainly devoted to the analysis of case studies. The different topics will be presented through the analysis of articles and reports where such theoretical and empirical frameworks were applied. Some sessions will be devoted to the monitoring, presentation and discussion of the work developed by the students, which reflects their contact with the methodologies of scientific research. The evaluation in this curricular unit will thus comprise two components: practical work and a final test.
