Learning is based on the reading and discussion of theoretical and empirical knowledge.
The aim is to acquire the capacity to formulate questions and answers. To this end, students will have to be active and autonomous in searching and selecting relevant information, in reading and thinking in order to create a rich and informed dialogue with the lecturer.
This autonomous effort will be required previously to each session, via reading, essay writing and some cases and exercices. This work will then be complemented with seminar discussions and oral presentations, which will help to better understand both theory and practice-based knowledge as well as to question it.
Class teaching will combine lectures and seminar/case, exercise discussions on theoretical and empirical knowledge –always trying to find the applicability of theory to the real world.
Tutorial teaching will focus on the preparation of essays, exercises and presentations.
Nota: se reservarán 15 minutos de una clase dentro del calendario establecido por el centro o por la titulación para que el alumnado rellene las encuestas de evaluación de la actuación del profesorado y de evaluación de la asignatura o módulo.
