The educational progress is organized from three different types of activities
1. professor directed activities
These activities are
These activities are are developed in the classroom during a semester, within the timetables foreseen for the module and under the direction of the teaching staff. They may be theoretical or practical, but this distinction between theoretical and practical activities is not a rigid division, because both aspects are always integrated in the courses. Although it is not approximate, we can calculate that 75% of the teaching would be devoted to theoretical aspects, and 25% to practical aspects. Attendance at classes is compulsory.
1.1. theoretical aspects
1.2. practical aspects:
The practical aspects of the sessions will be devoted, basically, to the analysis of jurisprudence and the resolution of practical cases, based on the criteria normally used by the jurisprudence of the Court of Justice of the European Union. Normally, this practical part will be developed orally, although students may also be asked to resolve written practices.
The materials for the practices will be placed in the virtual campus or they will have to be looked for by the students, through the electronic resources and the available data bases, or using the available collections in the library of social sciences of the UAB and in the library of the European Documentation Center, located on the UAB campus.
1.3. Complementary seminars and/or conferences:
In addtition to the courses scheduled, specialized seminars or conferences could be offfered during the course.
2. Supervised activities:
Students are the responsibles of these activities, always supervisedand directed by their professors. During the couse, three sessions will be devoted to carrying out supervised activities, which will be done in writing, and in principle in the classroom. The result of these activities will be used to decide the evaluation of the module, as will be explained in the corresponding section.These activities may consist of preparing a dissertation, answering questions about theoretical aspects, solving case studies or commenting on a text or document. They may also consist of personal working, following the instructions provided by the teaching staff
Study of the bibliography and materials; Students will have to find the materials required for the preparation of the course and the evaluation tests.
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.
