1) Students will undertake comprehensive readings of seminal texts on topics related to the subject as preparation for participation in formal discussion sessions. These texts will be made available to students via the virtual campus one week before the joint discussion class.
2) The teacher will provide theoretical explanations about key points of the subject syllabus.
3) Under the teacher's supervision, the students will choose one topic from the syllabus and give a group oral presentation about it.
Annotation: Within the schedule set by the centre or degree programme, 15 minutes of one class will be reserved for students to evaluate their lecturers and their courses or modules through questionnaires.

- The assessment process comprises three activities spread across the year: Exam (50%), Essay (40%), Oral presentation (10%).
- The virtual campus will be used to prepare the readings discussed in class.
- Prior to each assessment, the teacher will inform students (via Moodle to create an official record) of the results review procedure and date.
- Students who do not obtain the average pass grade for the subject will have to resit the exam, otherwise they will fail the subject. To be able to resit the exam, students must have already undertaken assessments equivalent to a weight of at least two thirds of the overall grade, and they must have obtained a minimum average grade of 3.5 for the subject.
- Not Assessable: Students who do not undertake any of the assessments will obtain a "Not Assessable".
- In the event of a student committing any irregularity that may lead to a significant variation in the grade awarded to an assessment activity, the student will be given a zero for this activity,
regardless of any disciplinary process that may take place. In the event of several irregularities in assessment activities of the same subject, the student will be given a zero as the final grade for this subject.
- In the event that tests or exams cannot be taken onsite, they will be adapted to an online format made available through the UAB’s virtual tools (original weighting will be maintained). Homework, activities and class participation will be carried out through forums, wikis and/or discussion on Teams, etc. Lecturers will ensure that students are able to access these virtual tools, or will offer them feasible alternatives.
This subject/module does not incorporate single assessment.
