Demonstration of the syllabus coherence with the UC intended learning outcomes

The learning outcomes of this curricular unit were formulated aiming at the direct
implementation of the syllabus. In order to enhance the vertical integration of content, all these goals
include several different syllabus contents. All syllabus contents are covered by the learning
outcomes.

Teaching methodologies

- Lecture by the teacher and spontaneous interventions of students (theoretical teaching and seminar).
- Exercises and tasks followed by class or plenary discussion of results (theoretical-practical teaching).
- Individual, in pairs or in groups reading of texts in preparation of the following class and of
complementary texts for further reading (study and evaluation).

Demonstration of the teaching methodologies coherence with the curricular unit's intended learning outcomes

The links between teaching methods and goals is most evident in the three penultimate learning outcomes.
They are especially fostered by theoretical-practical teaching, tutorial guidance and evaluation. However,
also the previous objectives imply comparatist methods, particularly in theoretical teaching, seminar,
study and evaluation.

Assessment methodologies and evidences

The evaluation will be processed according to the following
parameters:
Participation during classes: exercises, tasks, discussion, attendance (10%)
Preparation of 1 written assessment test (50%). This evaluation component can be written and/or
recorded in video (signing).
One research paper about one of the syllabus items (40%)
