| Methodologies | Description |
| Supervised projects | The student will select, to carry out his supervised work, one of the following thematic options: 1. Perception, classification and emic experience of disability, and its specific sociocultural conditioning factors. The specific conflict and negotiation process involves specialists and disabled people. 2. Models, response and alternatives in the sociocultural construction of the categories disease / cure / health, or disability / treatment / integration, and of the specialist / patient or specialist / disabled roles. The methodology will consist of a small study of the chosen topic, from the student's own professional, healthcare or training experience, supported by the empirical description of some cases associated with one of the aforementioned topics, and developing an interpretation that takes into account social processes and cultural that operate around this phenomenon of disability. Due to the characteristics of the course, the object and objective of the study will be very specific, and the scope of the analysis limited. The blended students will receive information and tutoring regarding the preparation of the work, either by online means (email, news in Moodle), or on the occasion of one of the two face-to-face meetings to which they will be called during the semester. The work will be prepared and delivered in digital document, in Word or PDF format, sent as a 'task' in Moodle or via email. The delivery will take place at the end of the course (December). |
| Objective test | It will consist of the conduct of a thematic examination through questions with short answers, the day and time marked for this purpose by the organization of the master, and with a maximum hour of duration of the test. Under conditions of face-to-face normality, the conduct of this examination will be mandatory for semi-presence students and/or for students who do not attend at least 2/3 of the master sessions. Previously, such stundents will deliver the remaining works contemplated in the subject. The objective test will be carried out in person on the day of the official call. The materials for the preparation of the test will be provided by the teacher, as the topics of the program are taught, in the form of summaries of what was given in the master sessions, sent as documents in Word or in Power point through the Moodle platform.
