Teaching Methodologies
Composed by theoretical-practical classes it is included the reliance on exposition with a bigger stress on the professor-students and student-student interaction, exploring – in a large or small group – historiographical texts or sources and, simultaneously, doing an orientation of works.
Continuous/periodic assessment takes into account both the individual performance of the students, including their attendance, motivation, participation and critical reflection (20%), or the preparation of documents (40%) to be presented and discussed in class (40%). Aspects such as structure and organization of information, recipients’ adequacy and work goals, language used, quality and correctness of scientific information will be valued. Evaluation by exam (100%) will be made through written and oral test (only if the classification 8 or 9 points).
