Teaching will be thought through reflection directed towards and mainly a student-centered approach. To this end, a set of didactic resources will be used, such as an oral presentation, a group discussion, an analysis of articles and case studies, as well as the elaboration and oral presentation of work assignments.
Continuous assessment includes the following parameters:

A final assessment:
- Test, covering the entirety of the syllabus taught and will have a weight of 100% in the final classification.
