| Methodologies | Description |
| Guest lecture / keynote speech | Lectures will be devoted to topics related to principles and problems in paleontology, as well as to the history of life on Earth. Students are expected to take their own notes. Reading assignments from specific topics delivered during the lectures are also expected to be completed. |
| Workshop | Workshops aim to introduce the students to basic concepts on taphonomy and systematics handling fossil specimens. Students will be required to take their own notes and answer quizzes. Attendance to the workshops is compulsory to pass the course. |
| Laboratory practice | Laboratory sessions will extend on the recognition of the basic morphological features of the main groups of fossils, as well as on the identification of important taxa from the Iberian Peninsula. Students will be required to take their own notes and answer the lab quizzes. Attendance to the lab sessions is compulsory to pass the course. |
| Objective test | Grading is primarily based on the idea of continuous assessment and so, the final exam IS NOT REQUIRED for those students being successful during this continuous assessment. Students failing specific parts or the whole subject are required to make the final exam for the parts they failed |
