Spanish Seminar

Recommended Prerequisites

Completion of all the courses of the 1st-year.

Teaching Methods

The students will make oral presentations on the texts they have read, relating them to their teaching experience. Before each presentation, the students will hand in written notes or texts (who will provide feedback on the handed assignment, as long as this is done in due time, as recommended) and will be followed by a comment made by the students and the teacher.
Hence, the supervision carried out by the teacher takes place both in the stage prior to the presentations as well as in the discussion stage, and also in periods assigned to that purpose within the context of the seminar, such as during the preparation of the final summary work.
