The teaching methodologies of the curricular unit of Ancient and Medieval History Themes are based on a combination of the roles of the teacher and the students. It is the role of the teacher to perform a set of expository classes, punctually supported by discussion and commentary on complementary bibliography, as well as the definition, monitoring and critique of the thematic works. It is up to the students' role to accompany the lectures, the reading of the main bibliography and the complementary bibliography and the accomplishment of all the tasks underlying the thematic works.
In this UC the thematic work consists of a written evaluation element, called historical text commentary, whose classification will be distributed for several moments:
- Monitoring: 20%
- Presentation: 30%
- Printed final version: 50%
