Evaluation Methodology:
In this curricular unit will be used various teaching methodologies. In the theoretical classes will be recourse to an expository methodology, to transmit the contents to be apprehended in a more systematized and organized way, facilitating their understanding and acquisition by the students. The reflection will also be stimulated through a more interrogative methodology. In the practical classes will be used a methodology that appeals to a more active participation of the students, such as the viewing of films/documentaries/videos and their group discussion, analysis of intervention cases and small group work in the classroom . Evaluation methods: test (50% ) and 1 practical work (50%).
