Evaluation Methodology: The teaching methodology is centered on the exhibition and discussion of the syllabus, preferably in the first lesson of the week. From the second lesson onward knowledge is to be applied in the form of debates on topics of interest to students, focusing on the development of communication skills. They must particularly develop the skills and forms of effective argumentative discourse. In class, students are expected to present the results of research developed at home and topics covered in class work are to be discussed in subordination to the program contents and to the objectives of the course.The evaluation consists of written tests (80% of the evaluation; 40% each) for the application of skills related to writing, and an oral presentation to the class (20%) for oral application skills.
