| Methodologies |
| Methodologies | Description |
| Document analysis | Methodological technique that involves the use of audiovisual or bibliographic documents (in the legal field, mainly papers and legislative and judicial documents) relevant to the subject matter with activities specifically designed for their analysis. It can be used as a general introduction to a topic, as an instrument for applying case studies, for explaining processes that cannot be directly observed, for presenting complex situations or as a synthesis of theoretical or practical content |
| Guest lecture / keynote speech | Oral exposition complemented by audiovisual media and a dialogue (Q&A) with students, in order to transmit knowledge and facilitate learning. |
| Supervised projects | Methodology designed to promote autonomous learning, with professor guidance, in several academic and professional settings. It aims to promote the practical dimension (know-how) and the assumption by students of their responsibility for their own learning. |
| Mixed objective/subjective test | Methodology that aims to assess the acquisition of knowledge and its application, combining different ways (open-ended questions, development questions, multiple choice; cases). |
| Events academic / information | Attendance or participation in scientific or informative events (congresses, symposia, courses, seminars, conferences) with the aim of deepening the knowledge of course topics. It provides current knowledge and experiences that incorporate the latest developments in a specific field of study. |
