In the theoretical classes, the teacher will present the syllabus using the techniques considered most appropriate for working on the topic under analysis (PowerPoint, film, illustrations, etc.), encouraging the students to participate in reflection and debate of ideas. Theoretical-practical classes will work on the thematic contents of the programme, with students having to produce texts, worksheets, critical reviews (50% of the assessment) and oral presentations (50% assessment). Master's students will receive tutorial guidance from the lecturer in the preparation of their research work.
