Teaching Methodologies
It will be used in this curricular unit an expository methodology, taking as its starting point the theoretical foundations of the discipline. This methodology will be complemented by the illustration of the theoretical principles from the use of empirical data. Use will be made of recent scientific articles that demonstrate the applicability of the theory to concrete situations. Students will be able to choose the modality of Periodic Assessment or Examen Assessment. In both cases, the assessment will be composed of a written test on the whole subject, which will constitute 100% of the final grade.
Learning Results
It is intended that, once the curricular unit is completed, the student:
A) Understand the phenomenon of communication in a social perspective
B) Acquire an integrated theoretical perspective on the main research topics of the discipline
C) Demonstrate the ability to apply this knowledge in solving research problems and performing communication practices (in the context of different professional activities in this area).
