Teaching Methods

Teaching methodologies/learning process will be organized based on theoretical and theoretical-practical teaching sessions. In the theoretical sessions, the first approach to the theme is promoted, presenting the different perspectives on it and confronting the student with conflicting and / or complementary approaches. In the theoretical-practical sessions, emphasis is placed on the student's work and his active participation in dynamizing the sessions through the analysis, discussion and debate of the different themes, previously the subject of study and reflection. These teaching sessions, where the debate dominates the teaching-learning process, will always be guided and moderated by the teacher.
Assessment: Special emphasis will be placed on continuous assessment, based on the realization of written works.
