Evaluation Methodology:
Considering the student as the center of the teaching / learning process, the use of expository-interactive methods is recommended, as well as the practical application through examples of research in electronic sources and analysis of scientific articles. The sessions will be complemented with the use of scientific databases and reference tools. Given the theoretical-practical and seminar nature of this CU, the evaluation will include two evaluation elements with the same weight, that is, 50% each: a written test and a written work with presentation and oral discussion. The minimum grade in each element is 9.5 points. If it is lower, the student can recover at the time of appeal. In times of resource / improvement and special, proceed as follows: for the resource each of the components, or both, can be recovered; for improvement, the evaluation will focus on the whole matter.
