Teaching methodologies and assessment
Teaching methodologies and assessment
The working sessions will be theoretical-practical. In the dynamics of the sessions, students will actively participate by reading some previously defined and distributed texts (Declaration of the Rights of Man and of the Citizen; Declaration of the Independence of the USA; Communist Manifesto; Encyclical Rerum Novarum; Universal Declaration of the Rights of Humanity). The aim of these readings, commented in class, is to use the contexts of each document as a laboratory tool for understanding the changes, scope and implications of each one. The assessment, in addition to a written test, will involve participation in the debates centered on these texts, as well as the preparation of an individual essay based on one of the texts mentioned.
