Description |
| Guest lecture / keynote speech |
General scheme of a typical three-hour session:
Theoretical exposition (50 minutes), visualization of complementary videos, presentation of doubts and comments.
The presentations will be recorded and can be consulted online.
In the case of the master session, the teaching staff will present the contents of the topic supported by a power point presentation. The master session will be used both for the theoretical introduction of the topic and for the presentation of the cases or practices that are planned. Each subject is developed in two-hour sessions, so the master session can cover around one hour per session. The teacher may vary this distribution, always compensating it with the rest of the methodologies so as not to increase the ECTS load of the recommended reading subject. |
| Workbook |
Completion of a project on a book by Oliver Sacks, chosen by the student. |
| Supervised projects |
Each two-hour class session contains time dedicated to viewing a related video, or commented reading of a text related to the teacher's presentation. The expected duration will be about 30 minutes per two-hour session. |
| Student portfolio |
In each class session, the student must answer an individual questionnaire about the reading carried out related to the cases analyzed or the practices carried out. These questionnaires, in addition to the corresponding power point presentations for each class, must be included in their portfolios. In it they will also collect any comments, reflections or activities carried out during the course. |
