Objectives
Objectives
At first, the study of the Law of Obligations I allows to provide students with the necessary tools to acquire essential knowledge about the basic notions on this matter. Secondly, it is intended that students acquire knowledge about the sources of Obligations Law (with emphasis on contracts), so that they can identify, enunciate and problematize theoretical and practical issues. Thus, this discipline aims to provide students with the necessary knowledge of legislation, doctrine and jurisprudence in the field of Law of Obligations I. The student must acquire the knowledge taught, must have the ability to resolve practical cases within the scope of the subjects taught and must take a critical attitude towards the arguments presented.

Teaching methodologies and assessment
Teaching methodologies and assessment
Students with special status provided for by law or regulation that exempts them from mandatory attendance to classes, but who wish to be included in the continuous assessment regime, must inform the Professor of the course as soon as they become aware of this fact, but always with 90 days' notice before the end of classes, so that the Professor can define another form of work or support, which may include completing a written assignment, presenting reports, and/or an oral exam.
