Evaluation Methodology:
The methodology is theoretical and practical, that is, dialogic, promoting student involvement in the learning process. To this end, an explanation of the syllabus, reading and critical analysis of scientific articles (in pairs or small groups) will be used, as well as the resolution of problems / issues related to global citizenship, in the light of ethical principles. The evaluation of the master's students contemplates the direct observation of participation in the classroom (20% of the final grade), the ability to autonomously research theoretical information and the oral presentation and discussion of the structure of a written work on one of the points of the syllabus (30% of the final grade). The written work represents 50% of the final classification.
