Teaching Methodologies

Considering the interdisciplinary character of the seminar, the teaching is divided between two teachers (50% of classes each). In the seminars, the expository method is privileged, in order to allow students to first acquaint themselves with the contents, situating them in relation to the current state of knowledge and alerting to the key concepts. We will also use methods that imply a more active work on the part of the students, namely, the participation in the seminars (through the ZOOM app), the raising of questions or the discussion of problems and the dynamization of sessions through the presentation and discussion of texts, in order to enhance the deepening of the learning, the problematization and the critical approach of the problems.
