| Case study |
Teaching-learning method in which students are presented with a specific set of real-life circumstances and a problem (‘case’) which they must attempt to understand, assess and solve as a group through a process of discussion. Students should be able to analyse a series of facts relating to a particular area of knowledge or activity, and arrive at a rational conclusion via a process of discussion within small work groups. |
| Workbook |
Compilation of printed texts and written documents, collected and edited as tool to consolidate knowledge of course content. |
| Oral presentation |
Group exhibition of a book chosen by the micro-group. The presentation will last a maximum of 15 minutes and will take place in interactive sessions during the months of April and May. More information in "Assessment". |
| Guest lecture / keynote speech |
Oral presentation (using audiovisual material and student interaction) designed to transmit knowledge and encourage learning. Presentations of this type are variously referred to as ‘expository method’, ‘guest lectures’ or ‘keynote speeches’. (The term ‘keynote’ refers only to a type of speech delivered on special occasions, for which the lecture sets the tone or establishes the underlying theme; it is characterised by its distinctive content, structure and purpose, and relies almost exclusively on the spoken word to communicate its ideas.) |
| Supervised projects |
Completion –individually, in pairs or in groups– of a written socio-educational project, following the guidelines given in class. This final paper will consist of designing a hypothetical pedagogical proposal based on the analysis and application of the contents addressed throughout the semester. It is to be submitted the day of the final exam.
Please submit papers without binding plastics; choose double-sided printing; use recycled paper; and avoid printing out drafts. We must work towards a sustainable use of resources and the prevention of negative impacts on the natural environment.
The importance of ethical principles related to the values of sustainability in personal and professional behavior must be taken into account.
For more information on the format and the submission period for this final paper, please see the course on the Virtual Campus platform. |
| Simulation |
Teaching strategy involving analysis of physical, technical or psychological phenomena using simplified, safer or more economical models of original conditions. Subjects are presented with hypothetical set of circumstances in order to test their response, awareness and understanding, and ability to analyse options available and impact of each. Simulates real-life situations with aim of engaging students in learning process, or for purposes of assessment. |
| Events academic / information |
Activities involving attendance at and participation in academic and information events (conferences, congresses, symposia, lectures, presentations, etc.), aimed at increasing student knowledge of specific elements of course content.
